Nurses Day prayers from the Sisters of Providence
On this National Nurses Day the Sisters of Providence offer our prayer support to all nurses and healthcare professionals. May God keep you safe as you work to protect us all during this pandemic.
Three of our Sisters of Providence with nursing backgrounds offer prayers for nurses during this time of coronavirus epidemic.
We invite you to pray and share these prayers with nurses you know.
And this final prayer is for all of us to pray for the healthcare professionals who care for and protect us.
Keep us safe, oh God. And protect all those who care for us when we are in need.
Find more prayers by the Sisters of Providence on our inspiration search pages.





Thank you for the beautiful prayers for nurses.
