NURSES PRAYER

Dear Jesus, Model and Inspiration of the nursing profession, I know that when you ascended into heaven, you left the care of your sick to those of us

whom you have blessed with the holy vocation of nursing.

Help me to be faithful to that calling, so that I can do always the things you want me to do and in the manner you want me to do them.

Grant that my voice may be gentle, that my hands may have the softness and sympathy of your hands that my presence may bring hope and

consolation which your presence brought to the sufferer of your days.

I want to do all these things, dear Lord, but I know that I am weak and can do little without your aid. Please give me that aid this day and every day of my life, so that I can do always what you want me to be – an angel of the

sickroom.

AMEN
