The Nurse's Prayer

Dear JESUS, model and inspiration of the
nursing profession
I know when YOU ascended into heaven
YOU left the care of the sick
to those of us whom YOU have blessed
with the holy vocation of Nursing

Help me to be faithful to the calling
so I can do always
the things YOU want me to do

in the manner YOU want me to do them

grant that my voice may be gentle
that my hands my have the softness
and the sympathy of YOUR hands
that my presence may bring something of the hope
and consolation
which YOUR presence brought to the sufferers of
YOUR days

I want to do all these things LORD
but I know I am weak
and I can do little without YOUR aid
please give me aid this day
and everyday of my life,so that I can always
be what YOU want me
you want me to be.......
An angel of the sick room....
