Blessing Over Arthritis

I bless the joints, hinges of motion and grace,

I align their truth-anchored flow of cartilage, synovium, and bone,

I receive their divine rhythm in every bend, lift, and step,

By sacred orchestration, let mobility and holy coherence dwell.

I bless the cartilage, firm cushion of collagen and proteoglycan,

May chondrocytes sustain matrix with measured renewal,

Turning compression into resilience, wear into renewal.

I bless the synovium, velvet membrane of lubrication and signal,

May synoviocytes secrete fluid with gentle abundance,

Quelling friction and nourishing every gliding surface.

I bless the subchondral bone, sculptor of support and leverage,

May osteoblasts and osteoclasts dance in balanced harmony,

Warding off spurs and erosion with soul-rooted balance.

I bless the immune sentinels—macrophages, T cells, and B cells—

May their cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-17) transform from storm

Into symphony of repair, guiding inflammation toward peace.

I bless the crystal intruders—monosodium urate and calcium pyrophosphate

May their sharp edges soften to lessons of moderation, not pain.

I bless the pannus of autoimmune fury in RA and PsA,

May its fervent growth yield to measured resolution, not excess.

I bless the fusion in ankylosing spine, rigidity’s fearful gift,

May each ossified link release into fluid alignment once more.

I bless the cycles of flare and remission, ache and ease.

May each crescendo bring insight, each pause deepen restoration.

By divine rhythm, these joints shall find restored balance.

Through sacred intelligence, inflammation shall yield to healing.

In embodied coherence, I bless and am blessed.

Amen.
