Nurse’s Prayer

Dear Jesus, model and inspiration of the

nursing profession, I know that 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 that
calling so that I can do the things you want me to
do and in the manner that you want me to do
them.
Grant that my voice may be gentle, that my
hands may have the softness and sympathy of your
hands that my presence may bring something for
the hope and consolation of those who are
suffering. Bless me Lord for I am about to begin
today’s work.

Grant success to my effort dear Jesus 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
be abundantly blessed and not one of them be lost.

I want to do all these things dear Jesus, but I know

that I am weak and can do little without your aid. Please
give that aid this day and every day of my life so that I
can do the things you want me to do and be an angel of
the sick room. Amen.
