“If any of you suffers, let him pray. Is any of you sick, let him call the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will heal the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will forgive him. Confess your faults to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed: the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:13-16). These words of the holy Apostle indicate the connection between sin and illness, between healing and intense prayer. The brochure is intended for those who have a good desire to pray to the Lord, the Mother of God and the holy doctors for the healing of body and soul.
