| _When the prayers of the congregation are desired on behalf of_
| _sick persons, sufferers from any public calamity, or others,_
| _the Minister may give notice of the same before he begins the_
| _Litany, and may insert the words_ especially those for whom our
| prayers are desired _in the relative suffrage to which the case_
| _is appropriate. Such notice may also be given at Morning or_
| _Evening Prayer before any prayers after the Third Collect are_
| _said, or in the Holy Communion before the Prayer for the_
| _whole state of Christ's Church is said_.

| _And, when prayer is desired on behalf of any sick person, the_
| _Minister may during Divine Service use the Collect appointed_
| _for the Communion of the Sick, inserting after the words_
| visited with thine hand _the words_ for whom our prayers are
| desired, _or he may use any of the prayers in the Order for_
| _the Visitation of the Sick, as the case may seem to him to_
| _require_.
