PRAYER FOR WORLD DAY OF THE SICK

Healing and merciful God, you walked among us, brought healing, and looked with compassion on the most vulnerable. Help us not to reject our human vulnerability but see it as a condition that welcomes the need and kindness of another person among us. May our families and faith communities become true ‘field hospitals’ that manifest concrete acts of caring and compassion which knows how to pause, approach, heal, and raise up. Give us grace and courage so that we may never be indifferent to suffering and may always bring your healing ministry to our world.
Amen.
