Almighty and immortal God, giver of life and health: We implore your mercy for your servants who are ill, that by your blessing upon him and upon those who minister to him with your healing gifts, he may be restored to health of body and mind, according to your gracious will, and may give thanks to you in your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A prayer asking God's mercy on someone who is sick, that they be healed in body and mind and, once well, give thanks in church. It was newly worded for the ACNA's 2019 Prayer Book, but its plea for healing and thanksgiving echoes a prayer said over the sick in Rome well over a thousand years earlier.
