O shepherd whom we invoke
for the healing of throats,
you who suffered torments
for the sake of the Name
and embraced death
as leader of His flock –
open our throats
to speak of Jesus,
to declare His goodness and glory,
the salvation that comes
only through Him.
Let us not fear
our persecutors
nor shrink from the threats
of the mighty
but stand fast
in the Lord’s healing grace,
confident that His every blessing
will keep us well
and on the path
that leads only to Heaven.
Pray all sickness flee from us
this day and forever.
