Those Who Heal

"I was sick and you looked after me."

— Matthew 25:36

Healing God,

Caregivers are present in our moments of vulnerability. They relieve our suffering, treat our illnesses, accompany us with compassion.

Thank You for all these caregivers. For their dedication, their competence, their humanity. For the long hours they devote to others' well-being.

Support them in their difficult mission. Protect them from burnout, reward their generosity, give them the recognition they deserve.

Amen.

Reflection

If you know a caregiver, express your gratitude to them. Their work is precious.

For all caregivers and for their well-being.
