Prayer For Protection Of Conscience Rights In Health Care
Father, in Jesus our Lord,
we praise and thank You
for your most precious gift of human life
and for forming us in Your Divine image.
Keep us, the dwelling place of Your most Holy Spirit,
ever healthy in body and soul.
Jesus, Divine Healer,
pour Your grace upon all those afflicted
with illness or disease.
Protect from all harm those who are vulnerable
due to sickness, suffering, frailty,
poverty or age, whether elderly or unborn.
Holy Spirit, touch the hearts of all
who serve human life in medicine and science,
so they will protect the dignity of each person,
from conception to natural death,
and remain faithful advocates
of all entrusted to their care.
Grant those who are called to serve as health care providers
renewed conviction in their ministry,
and increased wisdom to treat the whole person,
and not merely the illness.
Protect the right of health care providers
to serve their patients
without being forced to violate
their moral and religious convictions.
Guard them against discrimination,
that they might be free to follow you faithfully
while fulfilling their professional duties.
Grant our lawmakers the wisdom and courage
to uphold conscience rights
for those called to the ministry of healing,
and help them resist the pressure
to become collaborators in the culture of death.
Give us strength to be bold and joyful witnesses
to the truth that every human life is sacred.
In Your goodness,
guard our freedom to live out our faith
and to follow you in all that we do.
Father, we ask this in Jesus’ Name,
through the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
