A Prayer in Time of Pandemic   
O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation, hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers & sisters & deliver us from this time of trial.
Open our ears & our hearts to the voice of your Son: 
"Be not afraid, for I am with you always." 
Bless all doctors & nurses, researchers & public servants; 
give us the wisdom to do what is right & the faith 
to endure this hour, that we might gather once again to
praise your name in the heart of your church,
delivered from all distress & confident in your mercy. 
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
