The following is a simplified liturgy for generational healing. It has been adapted from a generational healing Eucharist as used by The Falls Church - Anglican in Falls Church, Virginia. It doesn't require clergy. I hope this may be helpful for you. Leader: Blessed be God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Scripture Readings: Exodus 34: 5-7; Deuteronomy 5: 9-10; 2 Corinthians 5:16-19 Renunciation of Occult Involvement Leader and People: Leader and People: Leader and People: Prayers for Generational Healing Leader: Almighty and everlasting God, please gather
together all of the generations of our family lines, past and present, that we
may be healed of all hurts and freed from all bondage. Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We thank you for all those in our family lines who
through their love and care passed down to us peace, love, and an ability to
know you and your son, Jesus Christ. (Mention names) Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We pray for those in past or present generations
who may have sinned against you and hurt others by engaging in occult
practices, in idolatry, in pagan or satanic worship, and all of the
abominations associated with those practices. (Mention names). Please forgive
those actions and break the hold these sinful practices have in our families.
Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We pray for those in past or present generations

physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect. (Mention names). Please forgive
those actions and break the hold these sins have on our families. Lord, in
your mercy. Leader: We pray for those in this generation who may have
sinned against you and hurt others by holding on to anger, unforgiveness, and
unrepentant bitterness. (Mention names). Please forgive those thoughts, words
and deeds and break the hold anger, unforgiveness, and bitterness in past and
present generations have had on our families. Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We pray for those in our families who through
addiction have lost their health and freedom or for those with chronic
illnesses. (Mention names). We ask you to heal them and restore to them the
assurance of your unfailing mercy, breaking the hold addictions and chronic
illnesses in past generations have on our families. Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We pray for those in past or present generations
who may have sinned against you and hurt others by committing suicide or
murder. (Mention names). We ask you to forgive those actions and break the
hold these patterns have on our families. Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We now commend into your hands anyone in our
family lines who committed suicide, was stillborn, aborted, miscarried, was
cut off from the family, or who died an untimely death (Mention names).
Receive them into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting
peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Lord, in your
mercy. Leader: We now send our love, blessing and forgiveness back to those
who hurt members of our families. We also send our love, blessing and forgiveness to
members of our family lines who sinned against others. Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We ask you to forgive those of us in this present
generation and our progeny for any way in which we may have given in to the
tendency to sin in the same way our forebears did. Forgive us and restore us
to life and health. Lord, in your mercy. Leader: We offer prayers for those family members who are
in special need of your healing touch. (Mention names.) Lord, in your mercy. Leader: O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed
us through your Son Jesus Christ. Look with compassion on the whole human
family and the families represented here; take away the arrogance and hatred
which infect our hearts; break down the walls which separate us; unite us in
bonds of love in Christ; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish
Your
purposes on earth; that in Your good time, all nations and races may serve You
in harmony around Your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Leader and People: Leader: Almighty Father, we ask that you reveal to us any
places in our family lines that need further prayers. Break the bondage of sin
and ignorance. Look upon all of the people in our families with compassion.
Free them that they might come before you in a sure knowledge of your love and
forgiveness. Send into every dark and hurting place the love of your Son,
Jesus Christ, that those in the present, and future generations may learn to
live in wholeness of mind, body and spirit, to the eternal glory of your holy
Name, in and through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. The Peace Leader: The peace of the Lord be always with you.
