prayer of st francis leprosy guild

Lord, we remember the many people around the world affected 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. 

Amen
