Join us in praying the Novena for Doctors!

Doctors are a great gift to our modern society. The work that doctors perform helps many people live healthy lives and continue serving God. 

Because of the many forms of suffering in our fallen world, we undergo a lot of bodily ailments. Though doctors cannot cure every bodily ailment, the advances of modern medicine have allowed doctors to cure many health problems. 

But the work of doctors is not always easy. Some doctors work long hours, perform physically demanding work, or become emotionally distressed because of all the suffering they must encounter in their patients. 

Doctors also have a unique opportunity to serve God directly through ministering to the needs of people, as Christ instructed us. Doctors are in great need of our prayers in order to do their work well and to use their work to glorify God. 

Let’s offer prayers in this Novena for Doctors that God may help all doctors to perform their work well and to do it for His glory.
