We come to you in our need to ask your protection against the coronavirus for our island and for all nations and peoples.
We confidently place everything in your hands, knowing that all things are possible with you.
Grant wisdom and courage to those studying this disease and seeking ways to help us stem the tide of transmission.
Guide the hands and minds of all in the medical profession, that they may minister to the sick with competence and compassion.
For those afflicted, that they may be restored. Fill their minds with your peace and their hearts with trust in You.
Grant us the grace to help all those in need, and to work for the common good of all people.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father…Hail Mary…Glory Be…
Santa Marian Kamalen, pray for us.
