The leaflet includes a number of categories: Lord Jesus, you came
that we might have life in all its fullness. In this time of sickness and the fear of sickness, give me the health of mind – that I might seek out wise guidance and act upon it; the health of body – that will enable me to serve you and those around me; the health of spirit – that my soul rests in the secure knowledge that there is nothing that can separate me from the Father’s love. Give me the grace to share your peace – that peace the world cannot give. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Prayer for Those in Authority
Loving God, in Christ Jesus, the servant of all, you call us to the service of others. Grant to those who govern the community the skill to recognise its urgent needs and the strength to pursue the common good. Endow us all with patience and courage, that we may care for the suffering, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and sustain the needy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
