Dear St. Giuseppe Moscati, true model of Christian doctors, in the exercise of your medical profession, you always took care of both the body and soul of every patient. Look on us, who have recourse to your heavenly intercession, and obtain for us both physical and spiritual health, and a share in the dispensation of heavenly favors.
Soothe the pains of our suffering people; give comfort to the sick, consolation to the afflicted and hope to the despondent.
May our young people find in you an ideal, our workers an example, the aging a comfort, the dying the hope of eternal salvation.
To all of us be a pattern of industriousness, honesty and charity, so we may comply with our Christian duties and glorify God our Father.
Amen.
Dear St. Giuseppe Moscati, please give *denitaA’s * doctors the wisdom and skill to perform a successful procedure, and may she have no unwelcome results. May she then have a safe, swift recovery. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
(denitaA, you’ll be OK. The prep is the worst part, really! And diverticulosis is no biggie–got that myself. Make your gastroenterologist happy and eat more fiber!)
