Oh Lord of all mercy, we commend to you the needs of our patients. Hear our prayers for those who are sick in our hospital today and miss the fun and activities of life.

Give to our efforts success for the glory of Thy Holy Name. Grant that the sick thou hast placed in our care may be abundantly blessed and not one of them be lost because of any neglect on our part. Help us to overcome every temporal weakness and strengthen in us whatever may enable us to bring joy to the lives of those we serve.

I pledge to God Almighty and to Jesus Christ my Saviour,
to serve the lowly and the sick, poor, with dignity, respect, passion, empathy, humility, compassion, and love.
To see Jesus Christ in every patient and treat them as my master.
To sacrifice everything required of me for their healing.
To endure every pain and insult that I may receive from patients and not to deliberately hurt, shout, or exchange words with any patient.
So help me God. Amen.
