For All Who Are Distressed in Mind, Body or Estate
O LORD, Who dost not willingly afflict the children of men, behold from Thy holy habitation of Heaven the multitude of miserable souls and lives amongst us, and have mercy upon us. Have mercy on all ignorant souls, and instruct them ; on all deluded minds, and enlighten them. Have mercy on all broken hearts, and heal them ; all struggling with temptation, and rescue them ; all that are fallen from Thee, and raise them ; all that stand with Thee, and confirm them. O blessed Jesus, that didst shed Thy blood for our souls to save them, shed Thy Holy Spirit on all, and heal them ; for Thy pity's sake. Amen.
