Prayer of Physicians’ Spouses
Great Physician and Father of all Mercy, grant wisdom and skill to them who seek to heal the sick and minister to the suffering. Fill them with strength, courage, tenderness, and a love for their art and for their fellow men. And to us, their spouses, Oh Lord, grant compassion and understanding hearts.
