Lourdes Prayer for the Sick
Look down, O Lord, on your servants who suffer from bodily illness and refresh the souls you have created; so that, purified by their suffering, they may by Thy mercy soon find themselves well. Be especially near to those who will never be well again and ease the pain of those whose illness is beyond the skill of people to help. We ask this through Jesus Christ.  Amen.
