118. For Persons about to undergo an Operation.

GRANT, Lord, we beseech Thee, that this Thy servant may be strengthened to bear the pain of the approaching operation, with entire reliance upon Thy grace and Thy love, so that the suffering of the body, being sanctified by union with the pain which Thy dear Son bore for us upon the Cross, may be instrumental towards the obtaining of Thy manifold gifts, for the perfection of his soul in the energy of the Divine Life; through the same Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
