God we thank you for the brave women who continue to come forward to serve you as Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.

Heal those who are sick. Restore them to full health.

Pour into us unimaginable love and ready us
to nurture the children You entrust to our care.

Breathe in God and breathe out love.
Delight in the beauty that surrounds you each day.

Protect us from plummeting into the social darkness of racism, poverty and despair that a pandemic can cause.
Aid our global community as it seeks to share resources, human skills and the knowledge needed to eradicate the virus.

Lord Jesus, You only have us,
to stand in for You. Make ours Your healing touch. Make ours the words You’d speak.
Make our outreach to families and loved ones the comfort and hope You’d give.
Let us be Your love.

May we see and touch every patient as if it were you.

May this layer of protection never be a separation of compassion.
With so many sick, help us to give quality when unable to give time.
