Bridget Mary:

Holy One, you hold us all in the embrace of your creative Love.  Today we tenderly pray for our dear friends and sisters Dotty and Joan, as they journey back to wholeness and health and prepare for a continued journey of shared love for one another.  We offer them our loving prayers and anoint them for strength and healing on the journey.

Mary T

Today, as you face health challenges and will face other life challenges you may encounter, we as individuals and as your beloved Holy Pod community offer our own gifts and strengths to you.  We pray that the Spirit of the Holy One guide your path both individually and together as you move forward in your calling and love for one another.  We surround you with our loving thoughts as we bless you. 

Joan C: Blessing:   

Please raise your hands as we bless Dotty and Joan together in prayer:

May the Wholeness from which creation sprang wrap you in wholeness, holiness, and healing.  May the Love that made the universe and placed you within it wrap you in a healing embrace.  May the Boundless energize you for the journey ahead.  May you know how deeply you are loved and treasured as beloved members of our Holy Pod.  

Anointing:

Bridget Mary 

Holy One, it is in you that we live, move, and have our being.  You call us all to wholeness and health in your kin-dom. In your name, Jesus, we anoint Dotty and Joan today and ask that they be filled to overflowing with peace, healing and strength now and in their life journey together.  Amen.

(Dotty and Joan are anointed with Holy Chrism by Kathryn) (bmm will bring)

Kathryn: 

Dotty and Joan, we anoint you with the chrism of healing.  We call on our Beloved, the ever-present Holy One, to keep you safe and sound, and we pray that you face your journey protected from all harm and keep you free of anxiety. 

(During Anointing the community joins hands and connects to Dotty and Joan in a circle)

(After Anointing: we invite additional prayers for healing and blessings from all for Dotty and Joan)

Mary T:  

As we continue to bless Dotty and Joan in their walk toward healing, and wholeness, may the words of Jennifer Williamson bless us all with wisdom and endurance.

Joan: ”Healing is an honor, though perhaps one wrapped in darkness,

Like a star is."
