This prayer is offered by our good friend Rev. Deborah London Wright, who married us. She encourages your use or adaptation of this prayer to any tradition or language that best expresses your own spirituality, as we continue to send our healing on Rosie's behalf.

God, Giver of all life and health,
We celebrate the remarkable family of Carolyn and Mark, Rosalie and Susannah.
We thank you for the light they bring to our lives, and the many ways their fortitude and love strengthen our souls.
Take that light and strength they bring to us and turn it to shine brightly upon their lives.
Take our courage and shower it upon sweet, little Rosalie, as she faces each physical assault on her young body.
Take our faith and flood the hearts of Mark and Carolyn with a river of hope that continually overflows for them.
Take our patience and bless young Susannah with the wisdom of knowing always how special and loved she is, even when attention needs to be placed on her big sister.
God, Who created our very cells, let us be the Village of Love whose power is strong enough to refigure those cells that are not serving Rosalie well. May the collective power of our prayers create a force of grace large enough to defeat the cancer within her.
We believe the Creative Power of your Spirit imbues in us the power to call upon such healing forces, and that in doing so faithfully, the full restoration of whole health to Rosie will be not so much a miracle, as a celebration of the natural grace you shine upon Your children.
Make us all Instruments of that Faith!
We pray in wonder, love and trust. Amen
