Summary/Abstract: Involvement of prayer in the physician-patient versus patient-physician relationship is a new approach of the way that is necessary to maintain a viable balance between body and soul, starting from the mysterious power of words. Included in the communication and relationship between physician-patient versus patient-physician prayer, whether accepted or not, often shows that trust as well as security of success, which the two actors need, complementing each other. Starting from a simple thought and all the way to the complex Christian behaviour, prayers intensify feelings, attitudes and behaviours. Being present at the patient's level, at the physician`s and also as a binder among these two, prayer becomes in some situations the bridge between: what I do, what I say, what I think and what I can succeed. What does prayer do? It reassures and gives hope as well as security both to the doctor and to the patients who are finding themselves in a welcome and blest word communion, which unites them at a certain moment and leads them to fulfil together an "earthly and spiritual" work.
