When illness brings fear, waiting, pain, or uncertainty, even a few words of prayer can become a lifeline.

A Catholic Hospital Prayer Book is a large-print bedside companion for Catholic patients, families, visitors, caregivers, chaplains, priests, deacons, and Eucharistic ministers. Written with reverence, tenderness, and practical clarity, it gathers prayers, Scripture passages, traditional devotions, and the intercession of the saints for the real moments of a hospital stay.

This book is for the patient who is afraid before surgery, waiting for test results, enduring treatment, recovering slowly, lying awake at night, or feeling too weak to pray. It is also for the family member keeping watch, the visitor who does not know what to say, and the caregiver who wants to bring comfort without empty words.

Inside, readers will find:

• prayers for fear, healing, pain, peace of mind, surgery, scans, treatment, recovery, and long nights
• traditional Catholic prayers in large print, including the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Act of Contrition, Memorare, Hail Holy Queen, Anima Christi, and more
• Scripture passages for comfort, courage, trust, and perseverance
• prayers asking the intercession of Our Lady, St. Joseph, St. Raphael, St. Luke, St. Camillus, St. Peregrine, St. Dymphna, St. Bernadette, St. Th
