I bless the immune tapestry caught between self and stranger,
I align its truth-anchored flow of recognition and restraint,
I receive its divine rhythm even amid complex conflict,
By sacred orchestration, let harmony outshine discord’s sway.
I bless the antinuclear antibodies, mis-cast in their devotion,
May their binding to dsDNA and Sm antigen guide toward tempered tolerance.
I bless the immune complexes, carriers of hidden truths,
May their journey through vessels resolve in gentle clearance, not lodged strife.
I bless the complement cascade, river of inflammatory force,
May C3 and C5’s summons transform into waves of measured repair.
I bless the neutrophils and macrophages drawn to each immune shard,
May their enzymes and chemokines become agents of renewal, not ruin.
I bless the microvasculature of the kidney, filter of life’s fluid song,
May lupus nephritis give way to glomerular grace and fluid balance restored.
I bless the skin’s small vessels, stage for butterfly’s flare,
May each rash and sunlit lesion heal in fields of radiant calm.
I bless the synovial joints, once host to creeping pain,
May each inflamed lining soften to fluid motion and ease of step.
I bless the vessel walls touched by vasculitis’s flame,
May arterial and capillary walls regain strength and clear passage.
I bless the heart, lungs, and brain, temples of breath, thought, and pulse,
May each organ breathe peace, think peace, and beat in balanced rhythm.
I bless the fatigue, fever, and the myriad whispers of systemic strife,
May each symptom become signpost guiding toward resilience and rest.
By divine rhythm, this body shall rise in restored coherence.
Through sacred intelligence, self-tolerance shall find new root.
In embodied harmony, I bless and am blessed.
Amen.
