O Author of Peace and Hope,
that you may inscribe onto our hearts your wisdom
and receive our praise and wonder.
Set your seal upon our souls,
O Searcher of the Heart,
and purify us of all pettiness and penury,
that we may welcome each other as kindred
no matter our differences.
Let us never reject the unknown ones we encounter,
lest we turn you away from our welcome, O Blessed Savior.
Give us the will to amend our lives,
that we may bring honor upon you
through our discipleship and our love.
Sanctify and guide the hands and minds
of all healers and caretakers
that they may bring those suffering illness
to wholeness and restored health,
and relieve the anxiety of those who watch and wait.
O Comforter,
accept our prayers and petitions,
our rejoicings and our gratitude,
as we lift before you the cares and concerns
of those for whom we pray.
