Saint Luke, also known as Luke the Evangelist, holds a unique place in Christian tradition as the author of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. A physician by profession, he is often regarded as a compassionate and detailed writer who showcased the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in a way that highlighted the importance of mercy, forgiveness, and love for one’s neighbor.
Lord God, as I prepare for surgery, I humbly pray for Your loving care and protection. Please direct the hands of the medical staff performing the treatment and fill them with Your knowledge and compassion. I pray for a successful procedure and a quick and painless recovery. Give me the courage and serenity I need, knowing that You are always by my side. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
God, our healer and strength thank You for being with me today. Surround me with Your presence and grace as I perform this surgery. May I do this with complete competence and compassion. Help me to rely on Your strength and not just my own. May Your healing hands be my constant guide. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
