Prayers of Devotion to Saints
Cosmas & Damian
Patrons of Surgeons & Doctors
1. Prayer
Dear twin brothers, you both died as witnesses of the Lord you loved. Sometimes you miraculously healed the ailing bodies of your fellow human beings. You also managed to cure the souls that suffered from unbelief and sin. Help surgeons and doctors in their delicate work, especially when there exists more danger than usual. Remind them to invoke often the Lord of life while not forgetting to do their part to save or better the lives of their patients.
