      Prayer to Saint Damien

       

      Saint Damien, 

      you ministered to those in despair and isolation. 

      I call upon you to open my heart and mind, 

      to care for the poor, the sick, the weary, and those forgotten. 

      Bestow upon me the inner strength of faith, 

      and unconditional compassion to be a disciple of Christ. 

       

      As a Spartan man, 

      I come before you a humble servant of God, 

      bless me with the spirit of your love 

      and instill in me the touch of healing and grace

      that you yourself possessed. 

       

      Amen. 

       

      Saint Damien Pray for Us.
