O Jesus Christ, my Savior and healer, 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 protection, providence, and healing.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Renew faith in our people so that they may come to truly know You as Savior and Redeemer, acknowledge You as the source of every good gift, and live as witnesses to Your power and glory as You overcome all things.
Show forth Your mighty hand!Â
Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health and return to Your Holy Church to give thanks and take up anew witness to You. Heal us also from our fear and from all panic.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. Welcome those who have died from the virus into Your heavenly kingdom.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help, who put themselves at risk in the process. May they be enlightened by the power and outpouring of Your Holy Spirit so as to find a treatment and a vaccine and to stay strong in the battle.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Jesus, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Jesus Christ, heal us.
Show forth Your mighty hand!
Amen! Amen!
