A Prayer when we are sick

Short prayers can be very useful when we are sick. Dr Rob Hardie inspired by the cross of the Lord, finds St Anthony (of Padua’s) Brief very helpful

ECCE CRUCIS DOMINE
Behold the Cross of the Lord!
Fly you powers of darkness!
The Lion of Judah, 
The Root of Jesse,
Has conquered you!
Alleluia!!
