PRAYER OF THE SICK DO WHAT IS BEST FOR ME, LORD Dear God, merciful Father, I pray for myself. I surrender myself to your holy will. Do what is best for me: touch me with your caring hands that I may be healed; speak consoling words to me that my strength may return; ease my pain that I may bear it with faith; cure me of my illness that I may do more for you; restore my health that I may serve you better. With your constant grace and loving assistance, let me understand your ways in my suffering. Let me know your divine plan in my life. From you I have come and to you I must return. I pray for those who care for the sick that they may perform their task well; give them: a heart that never ceases to love despite the constant witness of illness and suffering; hands that are always warm and caring, never holding back in indifference nor pushing away in disgust; a spirit that never ceases to serve, never weighed down by discouragement and frustrations. With your deep love and unconditional mercy; grant them: renewed understanding; abiding compassion; selfless service; faith in your word and in the teaching of the Church. I pray for all who are sick. Bestow on us the gift of yourself. May our faith endure. May we never lose hope. May we continue to trust. May our prayer ever be: “Father into your hands I commend my spirit.” I pray to you through the intercession of the Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Remedies of Odlot. This I ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.
