Blessed Savior, I thank you that this operation is safely past, and now I rest in your abiding presence, relaxing every tension, releasing every care and anxiety, receiving more and more of your healing life into every part of my being. In moments of pain I turn to you for strength, in times of loneliness I feel your loving nearness. Grant that your life and love and joy may flow through me for the healing of others in your name. Amen.
The background of Prayer After A Surgery
The Prayer After Surgery is a Catholic prayer that is recited after undergoing surgery. It is a prayer of thanksgiving and healing. The prayer dates back to ancient times when people used prayer as a way of seeking healing and protection from the divine.
The Prayer After Surgery has its roots in the early Christian church, where prayer was seen as a powerful tool for healing. The prayer was recited by priests and members of the congregation after someone had undergone surgery, and it was believed to help speed up the healing process.
Over time, the Prayer After Surgery became an official prayer of the Catholic Church. It was included in the Book of Blessings, which is a collection of prayers and blessings used in Catholic liturgy. The prayer has since been widely used by Catholics around the world.
Today, many hospitals and medical centers offer chaplaincy services and support to patients of all faiths. Chaplains often provide comfort and support to patients who are undergoing surgery, and they may offer the Prayer After Surgery as a way of helping patients to find peace and healing during their recovery.
