Nurse's Prayer

Christ, may we work in devotion. May we touch with gentleness; may we speak with tenderness; may we listen with our eyes as well as our ears. May we smile from the heart; may we understand with deep feeling; may we know the time to be quiet, the time laugh, the time to sympathize, the time to encourage. And above all may we know that the time to love is now! Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.
