Remember, O Lord,

infants, children, the growing youths,

the young men and women, the middle-aged, the old, the decayed;

hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, captive, and friendless strangers;

those possessed with devils and tempted to suicide; those troubled by unclean spirits;

the sick in soul or body; the faint hearted, the despairing;

those in prisons and chains, and all under the sentence of death;

orphans, widows, foreigners, travellers, voyagers;

women with child, women who breastfeed;

those in bitter servitude, those who work in mines, and those who suffer loneliness.

Amen.
