Today I offer myself to You, Lord, as You have gifted
And chosen me to serve those who are ill.
Bless my hands that I may be able to share your healing touch.
Bless the medicines and instruments in my hands.
Bless my every action, every nursing intervention and medical procedure
that I will administer to the sick, that it may bring comfort, help alleviate
their pain, and be your instrument in healing them.
When i feel down because of fatigue and lack of sleep;
when my personal preoccupation, my own hurts and woundedness bother me;
when my presence and nursing skill are being mistrusted by those around me,
let you Spirit transform this into energy of love to give me
the strength and courage to go on faith. Help me to be serene especially when I am
at the bedside of patients who are in their most vulnerable moments.
Divine Master, I acknowledge the gift of service and love
inherent in my nursing vocation.
Increase in me the grace to be respectful of every patient
no matter who he/she may be, trusting that it is You
yourself who are placing him/her under my care.
Amen.
