A Prayer for All Suffering from the Coronavirus
You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.
Ps 91:5-6
Merciful God, hear our fervent prayer for all who suffer from the coronavirus. May those who are infected receive the proper treatment and the comfort of your healing presence. May their caregivers, families and neighbors be shielded from the onslaught of the virus. Give solace to those who grieve the loss of loved ones. Protect and guide those who strive to find a cure, that their work may conquer the disease and restore communities to wholeness and health. Help us to rise above fear. We ask all this through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes, and in the name of your Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
As the pandemic changes, we welcome back all Catholics. The days ahead will be a real turning point for our parish, & I feel we will become an even more lively, committed, authentic, Christian community, & a true reflection of Christ, the Light of the World. Fr. Roy
