Please pray for me. I am a surgeon; it’s my 8th year after finishing medical school, and I am presently in fellowship training with 3 more years to go.

I am tired, overworked, worn-out and frustrated. I have lost motivation and interest. I desperately want to spend more time with my family – I want to be a devoted, dutiful and loving husband and father. I don’t want my children to be sad that I am not home, and I don’t want my wife to feel like a single mom. God knows she’s tired, too.

I desperately need for my schedule to improve and my obligations to lighten, that I might have a healthy dose of leisure time in which to spend uninterrupted time with my family, time in prayer, and also pay attention to my own health, which has been neglected over the past 10 years.

I pray that God help me, if it be His will, to endure the final remaining years of my training, that I get a good academic position with a much more controllable schedule, such that I can re-prioritize my life as it should be, placing my Faith and family first, care of my own health next, and work and academic pursuits in their proper place.

Please pray for me!
 
To be truthful, your sincerity and honest human good-will and your weariness brought some moisture to my eyes.
Lord let Your peace and gentleness, Your warmth and Your love seep into every part of alessandro’s and his family’s beings and lives.

I will offer my Communion at Mass for you tomorrow. I sympathize with you, have read books written by surgeons who almost dropped out because of the horrible hours and lack of sleep. Please hang in there though. There are some of us that believe that surgeons and doctors have a beautiful vocation. What would we do without you! I will also pray that you are able to get a good position after all of your hard work. Please don’t let yourself be discouraged though. Pray to Jesus, who is The Great Physician, and also to St. Luke, who was a doctor. May Jesus and Mary hold you deep in their hearts, Amen.
 
My fervent prayers promised for you.

St. Luke, Sts. Cosmas and Damian, please pray for Allessandro.

Prayer to St Luke
Most charming and saintly Physician, you were animated by the heavenly Spirit of love. In faithfully detailing the humanity of Jesus, you also showed his divinity and his genuine compassion for all human beings. Inspire our physicians with your professionalism and with the divine compassion for their patients. Enable them to cure the ills of both body and spirit that afflict so many in our day.
Amen.

Amen to you.

Hail Mary full of Grace, The Lord is with you. 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.
 
Lord, please help Alessandro to keep you first in his life so everything else will fall into place. Grant him patience, strength, and peace; help him to keep persevering in his faith. Please lighten his burdens and grant him some more time with his family. Fill Alessandro to the maximum with your Spirit and bless all of his endeavors. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
You have made and continue to make great sacrifices to care for your fellow human beings. I pray that God will reward you very soon with a lighter schedule that will provide a schedule that allows you to balance your personal and professional life.

Bless you for taking this road in life. It is a difficult and challenging one - and you may save many lives along the way.

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said,
“Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”
With confidence in Your loving heart
which offers rest to weary souls,
we come to You in this time of special need.
In Your unfailing love,
read the prayer that is written on our hearts,
and grant the grace that we ask of You,
in accordance with Your holy will.
In Your name we pray.
Amen.
 
I will pray a Rosary for you and your family. May God bless you all!
