O God,you are the unfailing refuge of those who suffer.Bring peace and comfort to the sick and the suffering,to the aged and the dying.Give all those who look after them knowledge,patience and compassion.lnspire them with actions which will bring relief,words which will enlighten and love that will comfort.l commend to you the disheartened,the rebellious,those torn by temptation or tormented by desire and those wounded or abused by ill will men.Lord,pour out on us your spirit of love,understanding and sacrifice.May we then give effective help to the suffering we meet on our way.,Help us to answer their cry,for it's our own..May you stretch your healing hand upon the sick..hear my prayer Lord!
