Lord Jesus,

You traveled through towns and villages

curing every disease and illness among the people. 

At your command, the sick were made well.

Come to our aid now in this health crisis so that we may know your healing love.

Heal those who are sick: 

may they regain their health and strength.

Heal us from our fear, 

which prevents us from helping one another.

Heal us from our pride, 

which makes us certain of our health and life apart from you.

Bless health care professionals with strength and compassion

           as they selflessly respond to our needs.

We make this prayer in your strong and holy name,

you, who with the Father and Spirit,

live and reign for ever and ever.

Amen.
