View source for Prayer to Sts. Cosmas and Damian

O Saints Cosmas and Damian, <br>
we honor and venerate you <br>
with all the humility and interior affection of our hearts.

We invoke you, glorious martyrs of Jesus Christ, <br>
who during life exercised the art of healing <br>
with admirable charity and sacrifice, <br>
curing the incurable <br>
and ministering to dangerous illnesses, <br>
not so much with the aid of medicine and skill, <br>
but by the invocation of the all powerful Name of Jesus Christ.

Now that you are even more powerful in heaven, <br>
graciously bestow your merciful glance upon us miserable and afflicted souls; <br>
and at the sight of the many ills which oppress us, <br>
the many spiritual and corporal diseases that surround us, <br>
hasten your help. 

Assist us, we pray, in every distress.

We do not ask for ourselves only, <br>
but for all our relatives, families, friends, and enemies, <br>
so that, restored to health of soul and body, <br>
we can give glory to God, <br>
and honor to you, our saintly protectors. 

Amen.
