Prayer for Healing
Rest and trust in God's healing hand
When illness weighs on the body or the spirit grows weary from pain, many turn to Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, the humble Capuchin friar known for his own hidden suffering and his gift of healing prayer. This prayer asks his intercession for those awaiting recovery, and for the grace to accept whatever path God's providence allows. Those facing a difficult diagnosis may also find comfort in the Prayer During Cancer.

When to Pray This
Pray this when illness first strikes, before a medical appointment, or during a long convalescence when patience wears thin. It is especially fitting on Padre Pio's feast day, September 23, or whenever you keep vigil beside a sick loved one.
Benefits of This Prayer
Praying it regularly draws the heart away from fear and toward trust in God's providence, even when a cure is slow or uncertain. It cultivates patience with one's own suffering and compassion for others who are sick, following Padre Pio's own example of tireless charity. Many who pray it also find strength in the Prayer for Strength in Suffering.
