“God save thee, Michael, archangel! God save thee!”
“What aileth thee, O man?”
“A headache and a sickness and a weakness of the heart. O Michael,
archangel, canst thou cure me, O angel of the Lord?”
“May three things cure thee, O man. May the shadow of Christ fall on
thee! May the garment of Christ cover thee! May the breath of Christ
breathe on thee! And when I come again thou wilt be healed.”
These words are said over the patient while his arms are lifted in the
form of a cross, and water is sprinkled on his head.
