The Collect:
Bind up the wounds of your children, O God, and help us to
be bold and loving in service to all who are shunned for the diseases they
suffer, following the example of your servants Damien and Marianne, that your
grace may be poured forth upon all; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you
and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
