Lord, you invite all who are burdened to come to you.  

Allow your healing hand to heal me.

Touch my soul with your compassion for others.

Touch my heart with your courage and infinite love for all.

Touch my mind with your wisdom that my mouth may always proclaim your praise.

Teach me to reach out to you in my need and help me to lead others to you by my example.

Most loving heart of Jesus bring me help in body and spirit that I may serve you with all my strength.

Touch gently this life which you have created now and forever.

Amen.
