Traditional Faith Healing Prayers

The spiritual power of faith

The ancients’ knowledge of healing has been passed down by word of mouth from one generation to the next. For many centuries, faith healing was a mainstay of medical care in Europe. Monika Herz learned the art of this practice at the hands of an experienced healer: using this method, illness and suffering can be diminished or even made to disappear entirely through prayer, and as a result you will experience a sense of protection and an increase in strength. Healing simply "takes place" – the healer is just the facilitator. For the first time, the author of this book has put together a collection of prayers that we can all use, to help ourselves as well as others.


Monika Herz, born in 1956 in Hohenpeissenberg in Bavaria, grew up in a practising Christian family which counted faith healers in its circle of friends and relatives. She is the mother of five children and works as a healing practitioner in the field of psychotherapy. Her specialism within this area is "spiritual therapy" – faith healing, the laying on of hands, and client-centred therapy.
