To pray for a sick relative or friend, at home or in hospital. Where the prayer says so, you may say their name aloud.
Lord Jesus, physician of body and soul,
today I place in your hands
this person I love, who is sick
(you may say their name here).
You who came close to the sick
and raised them up,
lay your hand upon their life.
Give them relief in pain, strength in weariness
and serenity in uncertainty.
Guide the hands and judgment
of those who care for them.
And give me patience, tenderness
and the trust that they are not alone.
Your will be done,
and may we feel you near at every moment.
Virgin Mary, health of the sick,
pray for us.
Amen.

If the distress will not let go
This prayer offers company, but it does not replace medical care or the help of a mental health professional. If you feel you cannot go on or are thinking of harming yourself, ask for help today.
