(After a brief visit with a sick person, usually at the time of leaving, the Brotherhood member may say, "In the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, we have a very short service for the sick that I would like to read for you with your permission. "If the offer is not refused, the Brotherhood member proceeds with the following prayers.)

A Service For Use With A Sick Person (First Service)

Grace and peace be with you, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

O God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit lift us, we pray, to your presence, where we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, giver of life and health. Send your blessing on (name) who is sick, and upon those who minister to him, that all weakness may be vanquished by the triumph of the risen Christ, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen

A Service For Use With A Sick Person (Second Service)

O God of heavenly powers, by the might of your command you drive away from our bodies all sickness and all infirmity: Be present in your goodness with your servant (name), that his weakness may be banished and his strength restored; and that his health being renewed, he may bless your holy Name. Amen.

Almighty and eternal God, so draw our hearts to you, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated to you; and then use us, we pray, as you will, and always to your glory and the welfare of your people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

May God the Father bless you, God the Son heal you, God the Holy Spirit give you strength. May God the undivided Trinity guard your body, save your soul, and bring you safely to his heavenly country; where he lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

(If the sick person is about to undergo surgery, the following prayer may be used.)

Strengthen your servant (name), O God, to do what he has to do, bear what he has to bear; that accepting your healing gifts through the skill of surgeons and nurses, he may be restored to usefulness in your world with a thankful heart; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
