The saints Cosmas and Damian, whose feast day is celebrated on September 26th, are widely venerated for their miraculous healing powers. Born in Arabia in the late 3rd century, the twin brothers were both skilled physicians who dedicated their lives to healing the sick and poor. They worked in Rome during the reign of Emperor Carinus, but faced persecution under the rule of Emperor Diocletian for their Christian faith.

According to legend, Cosmas and Damian performed many miraculous healings throughout their lives. They were said to have cured a woman of a life-threatening illness by performing a miraculous surgery, which involved replacing her diseased leg with that of a deceased Ethiopian. They were also known for their ability to heal the blind and the deaf and to even resurrect the dead.

Their unwavering faith in God and their selflessness in helping others even at great personal risk, earned them a reputation as saints. They were eventually martyred for their faith after refusing to renounce their beliefs in the face of intense persecution.

Today, many people around the world pray to the saints Cosmas and Damian to seek their intercession in times of illness and hardship. There are many prayers that can be said to honor the saints and ask for their help.

One such prayer is the following:

O Glorious Martyrs, Cosmas and Damian, you are called “the moneyless ones” because you did not accept payment for your great healing skills and qualities. But this did not prevent Our Lord from rewarding you richly in both soul and body. You were rich only in the grace of God which is the source of all healings and love.

For your intercession, may God grant healing to our body, strength to our soul and protection from all harm so that we may serve Him with a heart full of love. Amen.

Another popular prayer is:

Intercede with Our Lord and Master that He may grant us the grace to be healed of our spiritual afflictions. Ask Him to comfort and restore our souls to health, to cure all our physical ills, and to strengthen us in our trials and temptations. Let us have the same courage and dedication to our faith as you had in serving our Lord.
