we worship You and give you praise,
as we turn to you again to rest in your truth,
our model, our brother, our teacher, our guide.
You call us to you in generous welcome, O Christ,
offering the sweets of your wisdom
to all who seek truth, justice, and healing.
We ask for your healing hands to rest upon us today,
curing us of all malice, fear, and faithlessness,
implanting within us the seeds of justice, hope, and unity
that we may flourish and witness joyfully
to the powerful love of God in the world.
Good Teacher, may we be receptive disciples
and walk in your paths of compassion.
Spirit of Wisdom,
guide the hands and the minds of all healers today:
bless doctors, surgeons, and nurses
as they care for the vulnerable
and promote the healing and welfare
of even the littlest ones.
Strengthen those who watch and wait,
and grant your angels charge
over all who seek your respite and comfort
that they may know your abiding presence and protection.
We especially pray for these
who seek your help and your comfort, O God of Hope.
Amen.
