Holy Father, physician of souls and bodies, who didst send thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who healeth every infirmity, and delivereth from death; do thou heal thy servant, _name_, from the bodily and spiritual weakness that presseth upon him, and quicken him by the grace of thy Christ; through the prayers of our most holy Lady, the God-bearing and ever-virgin Mary; through the intercession of the honourable, heavenly bodiless powers; through the power of the precious and life-effecting cross; of the honourable glorious prophet, Forerunner, and Baptist John; of the holy, glorious, and all-praised apostles; of the holy glorious, and excellently victorious martyrs; of our venerable and god-bearing fathers; of the holy and unmercenary physicians, Cosmas and Damian, Cyrus and John, Pantelimon and Hermolaus, Sampson and Diomed, Photius and Anicetas; of the holy and righteous god-progenitors, Joakim and Anna, and of all the Saints. For thou art the fount of healing, O our God, and to thee we ascribe glory, with thine only-begotten Son, and with thy consubstantial Spirit, now and ever, and to ages of ages.
