My dear friends, we are gathered here in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ who is present among us. As the Gospels related, the sick came to him for healing; moreover, he loves us so much that he died for our sake. Through the apostle James, he has commanded us: “Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.”
(James 5:14-15)

Let us, therefore, commend our sick brother (sister) N…..to the grace and power of Christ, that he may save him (her) and raise him (her) up.
