I salute you Luke, who recorded for us
the life of Jesus as sweet medicine for our souls.

I pray you, bless me with the balm of your holiness
and anoint me with the emotional chrism of your steadying hands.

Enlighten my understanding
with the spiritual incandescence of your mind.

Strengthen my hand and my heart with your holiness
and lead me to the throne of our Master.

Shield me from fevers of frustration
and infections of emotion and mind,
guarding me always from jealousy and carnal thoughts.

Please be my advocate to the Jesus
Whom you so passionately loved and served in this life and with Whom you are in the spiritual union
of all eternity.

Bless me at my bedside as I fall asleep.
And enliven me and refresh me with new courage
when I rise to each new dawn.

You, to whom God gave unique blessings
and holy healing hands and powers,
please plead for the purification of my soul,
and the removal of all infections of my body and mind
which could distract me from giving my whole heart,
soul and attention to the prescriptions
of our Divine Healer and Master, Jesus the Christ.

Keep me upright in body and actions.
Let me not break my bones or my promises.
Let me not strain my tendons
or the patience of my friends.
Cure me of avarice and malice, of envy and lethargy.

Set a guard over my tongue,
shield my eyes from sinfulness,
and close my ears to words of evil.

Keep me free from fevers and delusions,
jealousies and unworthy thoughts.
Strengthen my muscles and my mind.
Protect me from malice and poisonous temptations.

Shield me against infections and insanity.
Keep me from emotional turmoil and mental uncertainty.
Hold me, please, upright, alert and vigorous,
wholesome and safe always, in your holy loving hands.

All this I pray to you, good Saint Luke,
in confidence and hope,
doctor to my frail body
and physician to my immortal soul.
