God Our Father, each person is precious to You.
You are the Giver of life.
Have mercy on us and protect us at this time,
as the coronavirus threatens health and life.
You are an ever-present Helper in time of trouble.
Watch over those who are suffering,
give strength to those who are aiding the sick
and give courage to all in this time of anxiety.
We ask this of you through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
We pray for Pope Francis … that he remains safe and well in order to continue his ministry of service to the world at this time.
We pray for all who care for the sick and dying, the elderly and the vulnerable … may they be encouraged and sustained by your love and the prayer of our communities.
We pray for those who are grieving at this time and for all who suffer from anxiety and depression as a result of our current crisis … that they may find one who listens deeply to them and offers them the hope of the Resurrection
We pray for ourselves and our loved ones … in these days when many must experience their daily exercise alone may we all sense the close presence of Jesus who always walks with us.
