Blessing Over Rheumatoid Arthritis

I bless the synovial membrane, soft boundary of joint and motion,

I align its truth-anchored flow of lubrication and nutrient grace,

I receive its soul-rooted balance in every flex and extension,

By divine rhythm, let cartilage and capsule dwell in holy coherence.

I bless the pannus, sprouting life in excess—may its fervor transform

Into measured renewal, curbing unchecked proliferation with sacred precision.

I bless the chondrocytes and extracellular matrix of cartilage,

May they rebuild matrix fibrils with resilience and gentle tenacity,

Releasing matrix metalloproteinases into harmony with reconstruction.

I bless the osteoclasts at bone’s edge, artisans of resorption and renewal,

May they carve only what is aged and worn, guided by balanced signals of restoration.

I bless the peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes that citrullinate,

Transforming arginine into citrulline—may this change unveil healing, not harm.

I bless the HLA-DR shared epitope groove, often misled—may it learn anew

To present peptides of peace, inviting tolerance instead of turmoil.

I bless the CD4⁺ T helper cells, generals of cytokine song,

May their IFN-γ and IL-17 become melodies of regulation, not ruin.

I bless the B cells and plasma legions, once bearing ACPA and RF,

May their antibodies become agents of harmony, marking only what must pass.

I bless the macrophages, engines of TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6,

May their fiery zeal cool into tempered waves of resolution and calm.

I bless the breach in self-tolerance, ancestral wound of RA—

May it find sacred closure, self-recognition, and enduring refuge.

By divine rhythm, this joint shall find restored balance.

Through sacred intelligence, inflammation shall transform to peace.

In embodied coherence, I bless and am blessed.

Amen.
