 Episcopal AIDS ministry begins with prayer...

“Merciful God, we remember before You all who are
sick this  day, and especially all persons who live with
HIV.  Give them courage to live with their disease.
Help them to face and overcome their fears.  Be with
them when they are alone or rejected.  Comfort them
when they are discouraged.  And touch them with your
healing Spirit that they might find and possess eternal
life.  All this we ask through your Son, Jesus Christ,
our Lord.  Amen.”
