Prayer of the heart – A universal medicine for all plagues

30th December 1841

[1] May Jesus help you! Jesus make you healthy! Jesus keep you! – Jesus, You eternal helper of all suffering, Jesus, You sole doctor of all diseases, Jesus, You eternal king of all power and strength, Jesus, You eternal love and mercy, help this suffering sick person! Your holy will be done! Amen.

[2] This prayer of the heart is able to work even in the distance, by spreading the hands in blessing to the place where the sick person is.(*1)

(Note from Ans. H.-W.: Jakob Lorber said that the apostles said this prayer during healing of the sick).
