NURSES PRAYER Dearest Lord, May I see you today and everyday in the person of your sick.

And while nursing them ministering unto you. Though you hide yourself behind the irritable, the exacting and unreasonable, may I still recognize you and say, Jesus my patient how sweet it is to serve you. Lord, give me thy seeing faith that my work may never become monotonous, that I may find new joy in humoring the fancies and gratifying the wishes of thy poor sufferers. Dearest Lord, make me appreciate the dignity of my high vocation and its many responsibilities and never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness and impatience. My God, since you are Jesus my patient deign also to be patient. Jesus patient of my many faults, look only into my intention which is always to love and serve you in the person of each and everyone of your sick. Lord, increase my faith, bless my effort and sanctify my work, now and forever. AMEN
