God above, before I begin my holy work,
healing Your creation [human beings], I lay
my plea before You, that You will grant me
the strength of spirit and the vast energy to
do my work with faith, and that the aspiration
to accumulate wealth will not blind my eyes
from seeing one who is suffering, one who
comes for my [professional] advice, as a
human being, [whether] rich or poor, friend or
foe, the good and the evil person, in his
sorrowful moment reveal to me only the
human being in him. My love for the learning
of medicine should only strengthen my spirit,
only the truth shall be the light before my
feet, for any weakness in my work might
bring about death and illness to Your
creation. I beg you, please, compasionate and
gracious God, strengthen and focus my body
and my soul and plant within me a spirit that
is whole.
