THE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY PRAYER

 O God, who, by calling us to the vocation of a medical technologists, has
placed upon us the obligation of being a constant help in the scientific care
of the sick, grant us by thy divine light a deep insight into the serious
responsibilities of our task.

By thy divine wisdom awaken in us a growing zeal and determination to

increase our knowledge of how to search a disease, how to
make important chemical analyses, and other valuable tests so helpful in
caring for the sick.

By thy divine love, permit us in this way to share with those who directly care
the sick, that thus, we may be constantly working through the eternal physician
Christ our Lord, Amen.
