Occasional Prayers
Blessed Hands
At the start of each year, we bless and anoint our hands for the work of the new year using the following words:
I anoint these hands in the name of the God
who created you,
who loves you,
who holds you in hands of mercy and grace.
May God who formed these hands show love and healing through you.
Amen
