I just read a wonderful piece about the nurses who cared for Mr Duncan who came to this country and had the Ebola virus.

Regardless of how you feel about him coming here, God tells us that we must love one another. We hear in today’s first reading
EX 22:20-26:
…You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt…

We also hear in today’s Gospel that we must love one another. By showing love to others we are being selfless. As I read the article, I picked up on that selflessness of the nurses who held his hand and tried to comfort him in his hour of need. They didn’t do it out of obligation, but because of love. The love that they showed Mr Duncan may have been what felt right to them, but I believe that they saw Mr Duncan as a temple of the of the Spirit.

God bless all of our healthcare workers who care for the sick. They put themselves in harms way many times and they comfort those around them.

Let us pray for all those who are sick in mind, body or spirit today and for all who care for them. May the caregivers see the Temple of God in the person who they are caring for and show them the love that our loving Father asks us to show to Him and to others as well.

Living and eternal God,
you tell us in the psalms that
you are near to the broken- hearted,
and to those who are crushed in spirit,
you save.

Draw near to those who minister
to your people who are suffering
in body, mind, and spirit
that they may pour out your mercy
upon those whom they serve.

Fill them with your Holy Spirit
that they may go forth
in your strength, in your wisdom
and in your goodness
to do your holy will
among those in need of your help.

Revive their spirits, Lord,
when they are discouraged and weary
and allow them to be mindful
of your presence and your faithfulness
in this and every situation.

You use the weak and make them strong
so that they may serve you
with humble hearts.
Allow your servants
the grace to see the face of your Son
in those to whom they minister, and
help them to be ever mindful of his promise
that whatever they do for the least
of your people, they do for him.

We ask this in the holy name
of Jesus Christ, Our Lord,
Amen.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
For Health Care Givers

Gracious God, bless and guide the doctors, nurses, technicians, and all others you have called to be agents of your healing hand. I pray, that through their actions, all may be restored to wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Remembering your intentions in my daily prayers. God bless!

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Bless those nurses, and all the care givers in the world. Bless the dying, and the sick, and people who have Ebola. Dear God, please bless them all. :byzsoc:
