A prayer for someone having surgery

If someone you love is facing surgery, you don't need the right words. You need somewhere to put the fear. This prayer is somewhere to put it.

Before the surgery

Lord Jesus, healer of the sick, be with them in surgery.

Guide the hands of the surgeons and nurses; give them skill, attention, and care.

Calm the fear of everyone who waits.

We place them in your hands, and we trust you with what we cannot control.

Amen.

Then, if you have twenty minutes, pray a rosary for them, and let them know. On The Rosary Diary you can pray today's mysteries for someone and send them a single line: “I prayed a rosary for you today.” It arrives like what it is: being loved.

No account is needed to pray.
