Life-giving God, who alone hast power over life and death, over health and sickness: Give power, wisdom, and gentleness to those who follow the example of thy servant Florence Nightingale, that they, bearing with them thy Presence, may not only heal but bless, and shine as lanterns of hope in the darkest hours of pain and fear; through Jesus Christ, the healer of body and soul, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
From Florence Nightingale, a British nurse and social reformer, the founder of modern nursing, nicknamed "The Lady with The Lamp" for her dedication when nursing wounded soldiers during the Crimean War, who died this day 112 years ago. pic.twitter.com/GF4gpbq4Ff
