Prayer of the Order Of Malta Ambulance Corps Ireland for helpers of the sick

Lord , you know that it is my duty to assist the sick , grant that I may serve them not only
with my hands but also

with my heart so that I may love them .

Lord, you had compassion in all human suffering . Make my spirit strong . Strengthen my
arms in caring for the sick , in dressing wounds , in comforting the weak and the dying .
Keep my soul sensitive to the sorrows of others . Let me always have a kind word and
manner and patience in watching .Lord, You created human nature composed of body
and soul . Make me respect both the one and the other .Teach me to console the
downcast spirit , caring  for the sick body . Lord, You said that the care shown to the
suffering is shown to You . Grant that I may see You in them and them in You ,

Lord , You promised that even a glass of water given in Your name would not go
unrewarded . Conserve the reward that You alone can give to this my work which I
want to accomplish with devotion and love.

And You Mary , consoler of the afflicted and health of the sick , be for me a wise
teacher and loving mother . 

Amen
