Occasional Prayers

Almighty and everlasting God, who didst send thy Son Jesus Christ to be the Saviour and Healer of men: We pray thee to bless the work of all hospitals and medical schools. Grant that all who are called to the ministry of healing may ever have present to their minds the example of our Lord, and his tenderness and sympathy for all human suffering. Give them grace and patience faithfully to fulfill their holy calling, and crown their work with good success; for the love of the same thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
