St Francis Leprosy Guild's Prayer for people with leprosy
Lord, we remember the many people around the world afflicted by leprosy. May we follow the example of your Son, Jesus, and St Francis of Assisi and show them love and compassion. We pray that they may be freed from the disease and its stigma. We give thanks for those who have been cured. We remember those who are permanently marked by the disease and all who care for them. We give thanks for every Catholic nun who is caring for people with leprosy. We pray that you will bless them with all that they need to serve those in their care and sustain them in their mission. Amen. |
