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 may 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.
