We turn to you in times of joy and times of pain.
We are concerned for those in pain, those who suffer from cancer, and for those who care for them.
Bless, we pray, those who minister to the persons afflicted with
this dread disease.
Give them skill and knowledge that cures may be wrought. Grant, we pray, the gifts of patience and strength for families of those who suffer. Heal we pray, those who suffer that their pain may be replaced with joy. Give, we pray, a discovery of the cure for cancer and knowledge of how to prevent it. Increase we pray, your ministry of healing through all who labor in research and the health professions... That one day we may rejoice in a world free from the scourge of cancer
in which all may live our their span of life
in useful service to you and your children.
To you we shall give the praise!
Amen.
