A Nurse's Prayer

O my God,
teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.
Give to my efforts success for the glory of Your Holy Name.
It is Your work: without You, I cannot succeed.
Grant that the sick You have placed in my care be abundantly blessed, and not one of them be lost because of any neglect on my part.
Help me to overcome, every temporal weakness, and strengthen in me whatever may enable me to bring joy to the lives of those I serve. Give me grace, for the sake of Your sick ones, and of those lives that will be influenced by them. Amen.
