Shame on me

The Governor has been in the hospital for one week and Congressman Sweeney has been discharged then re-admitted to the hospital, and I have not offered any prayers on their behalf. So here is one, modified slightly from the New Saint Joseph People's Prayer Book:
God of Love, your Son became man and acted not only as a physician of souls but also as a healer of physical and mental illnesses. We ask you to cure Governor Pataki and Congressman Sweeney if it is in accord with your plan for them.

Enable them to serve you with a healthy body and mind. May they strive for Christian perfection, helped by your grace, for your greater glory and honor and for the advantage of their neighbors.
