N., I lay my hands upon you
in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, beseeching our Lord Jesus Christ
to sustain you with his presence,
to drive away all sickness of body and spirit, and
to give you that victory of life and peace
which will enable you to serve him both now and evermore.
Amen.
