Corona Virus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, during your earthly ministry, at your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now in the midst of the global spread of the corona virus, that we may experience your healing love.
Give leaders of nations and communities the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks.
Grant to all peoples the grace to respect the measures suggested that may curtail the spread of this virus.
We ask this in your Holy name. Amen

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm 23.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for length of days unending.
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me; he revives my soul. ℟
He guides me along the right path, for the sake of his name. Though I should walk in the valley of the shadow of death,no evil would I fear, for you are with me. Your crook and your staff will give me comfort. ℟
You have prepared a table before me in the sight of my foes. My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing. ℟
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell for length of days unending. ℟
