Prayers and Blessings for Healthcare Workers

This curated collection of interfaith prayers, blessings, and poems was written by those who minister to healthcare workers. Chaplains and clergy across all lines of faith have ministered to those caregivers through prayers and blessings. This is a beautiful resource that those who work on our medical front lines can carry with them or keep at their workstations for daily inspiration. It can also be used by chaplains and pastors who offer support to medical personnel.

Many of the prayers were written to meet specific needs during the pandemic, yet they speak to the shared grief and hope we all have carried as we continue to navigate this extraordinary time. Contributors include The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Rev. Barbara Crafton, Catherine Meeks, Jennifer Grant, Rev. Ineda Pearl Adesanya, Rev. Gayle Fisher-Stewart, and yours truly.

“In these pages you will encounter restorative, life giving words that speak to the commonalities of our journeys, and you will find affinity in their beautiful reminders of love’s perseverance. A much-needed exhale for the world.”
