O holy apostle, St. Luke, I ask your intercession on behalf of all doctors, especially (name person).
Humbly lay them at the Divine Physician’s feet asking that they have: the wisdom and knowledge necessary to treat their patients effectively and restore them to physical and mental health; the compassion and empathy necessary to be of comfort to those who are suffering; and the strength and grace to fulfill their duties as doctors.
I also ask that you pray they are kept safe from all harm and that they never succumb to the illnesses they are treating.
O blessed St. Luke, we thank you for your prayers and assistance. Amen.
