Prayer for Sick Persons
Heart of Compassion, Source of Life.
Grant to the frail in body
The assurance of your strength,
To all who are ill this day,
A healing balm.
To those who wrestle
With despair, grant peace
May those with failing minds
Be met with kindness.
May broken bodies
Gently mend,
The broken-hearted find
Your consolation.
May those in the throes
Of pain be soothed
And all who dwell upon
The threshold of eternity
Be lifted to the fullness
Of your light.
Calm in the storm.
Dawn in the darkness
Spirit, come.
