Prayers in a Pandemic
-
O Lord, Jesus Christ, you traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.
Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.~America Magazine
Yon ti lapriye nan tan difisil sa,
Akoz menas korona virus laO Segne Jezu Kri, ou te konn vwayaje nan tout vil ak nan tout bouk pou w al geri tout maladi ak tout febles nan pep la. Sou lod ou malad yo te konn gueri. Vin ede nou, nan mitan sityasyon sa, kote maladi Korona virus la ap gaye ko li tout kote; vin ede nou jwenn gerizon pou maladi sa.
Tanpri gueri tout moun ki gen virus la nan lavi yo. Fe yo gras pou yo rejwenn fos ak lasante gras ak swen lopital ak dokte ap ba yo.
Gueri nou kont tout maladi laperez, ki ka anpeche nasyon ak vwazinaj pou yo travay ansanm epi pou youn ede lot.
Tanpri gueri nou tou kont tout maladi logey ki ta kapab fe nou kwe nou ka fe fas pou kont nou devan maladi sa ki pa gen limit ni frontye-a. Tanpri Jezu, ede nou! Amen!~ (America Magazine)
Prayer to St. Corona in a Time of Epidemic
Lord Jesus Christ, You came into this world for our salvation. Look kindly on us now, we pray, that we, and all those who serve You, might be kept safe from this epidemic.
Heal those who are sick, comfort the suffering, bring back those who have gone astray, and above all, increase our faith, O Lord.
Give us the grace to follow You and, like the martyr St. Corona, who gave her life for love of You, to take up our crosses daily without fear or hesitation.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
St. Corona, patroness of epidemic victims, pray for us.Prayer for Healthcare Workers & First Responders
God, as more people get sick, healthcare workers and first responders are working longer hours with fewer supplies and with more risk of contracting the new coronavirus themselves. Renew their energy and sustain them on long shifts. Bring Your protection upon them as they work with patients. Multiply their supplies so they have the protective items needed to stay safe on the job.
Inspire and invigorate the research doctors developing better tests to diagnose the virus, create vaccines to prevent it, and identify protocols to eliminate the disease’s spread.
