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.
Lord God, please bless those undergoing and needing surgeries. Guide the hands of their doctors so that they will do no harm to their patients. Bless these doctors with Your wisdom and Your healing power so that when they stretch our their hands to heal the sick, they will do so with a portion of Your mighty healing power. Thank You Lord. AMEN.
