Lord Jesus, when you were on earth,

you healed all those who had need of healing.

Help me always to remember that you have honored me

by giving me the task of continuing your healing work.

Give me skill in my mind,

gentleness on my hands, and sympathy in my heart.

Help me always to remember that often when people come to me,

they are frightened and nervous, and help me always to try to bring to them, not only healing for their bodies, but also calm to their minds.

Make me patient yet firm with the foolish malingerer who wastes my time.

When I must tell people that there is nothing that human skill or hands can do for them, give me a wise gentleness to break the news to them.

Help me never to lose the thrill of bringing new life into the world,

and never to become callous to the pathos of the parting of death.

Give me something of your skill to heal men’s diseases,

to ease men’s pains, and to bring peace to men’s troubled minds.

This is I ask for your love’s sake. AMEN.

主耶穌，當祢在世時，祢醫好了那些需要被醫治的人。

幫助我牢記，是祢藉著賜給我祢的醫治能力來榮寵我。

是祢賜給我智性的技巧，柔和的手，和富同情的心。

幫助我牢記，當人們來找我，他們是擔驚受怕的，幫助我鼓舞他們，不僅治好他們的身體，也能使他們的心得安寧。

使我對那些裝病以逃避責任、浪費我時間的人有耐性。

當我必需告訴患者再也沒有其他方法或高明可以幫助他們時，請賜給我溫和的態度和明智的話語來傳達這樣的訊息。

幫助我與喜樂的人一同喜樂，與哀哭的人一同哀哭。

賜給我祢的醫治能力來醫治人的疾病，減輕痛苦，讓煩憂的心靈得享平安。

因著祢的聖愛，我這樣禱告，阿們！
