A prayer by a physician

I pray that God makes me right, more than smart.
I pray that my patient knows that I too am human, with my limits.
I pray to admit powerlessness. As kindness is a sign of strength, surrender is a sign of confidence.
I pray to have the strength to love my noble profession, and use its powers, never abuse them.
I pray to the Great Physician who holds life and death in His hands.

Dear God, I am your blade.  Sharpen me on one side, dull me on the other and give me the wisdom to know when to use which.  Lay me down at night, and give me luster in the morn.  Teach me the humility to know that in your hands I heal, without you I wound. Make me an instrument of healing.  Inspire me with your love for your creation and respect for your diversity.  Let your light illuminate my mind and my soul so that I can protect the body with your sacred truth.  Let me be kind in the face of harshness.

Amen.
Dr. Emrani, M.D.

May humility and wisdom invade doctors' hearts as we care for all our patients.  And May God's Presence take over our examining rooms and  every hospital, displaying  His healing power, mercy and love.
We are nothing without Him, 
Dr. Aviles
