Covid-19: A Prayer of Solidarity
For all who have contracted coronavirus,
We pray for care and healing.
For those who are particularly vulnerable,
We pray for safety and protection.
For all who experience fear or anxiety,
We pray for peace of mind and spirit.
For affected families who are facing difficult decisions between food on the table or public safety,
We pray for policies that recognize their plight.
For those who do not have adequate health insurance,
We pray that no family will face financial burdens alone.
For those who are afraid to access care due to immigration status,
We pray for recognition of the God-given dignity of all.
For our brothers and sisters around the world,
We pray for shared solidarity.
For public officials and decision makers,
We pray for wisdom and guidance.
Father, during this time may your Church be a sign of hope, comfort and love to all.
Grant peace.
Grant comfort.
Grant healing.
Be with us, Lord.
Amen.
Prayer
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.
Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in
this time of uncertainty and sorrow.
Be with those who have died from the virus.
May they be at rest with you in your eternal
peace.
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.
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and
all medical professionals who seek to heal and
help those affected and who put themselves
at risk in the process. May they know your
protection and peace.
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
are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to
invest in long-term solutions that will help
prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May
they know your peace, as they work together
to achieve it on earth.
Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded
by many people suffering from this illness or
only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we
endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In
place of our anxiety, give us your peace.
Jesus Christ, heal us. Amen.
Prayer
Jesucristo, tú atravesaste pueblos y villas “curando toda dolencia y toda enfermedad.” Por tu mandato, los enfermos fueron curados. Acude a nuestra ayuda hoy, en medio de la propagación global del coronavirus, para que podamos sentir tu amor curativo.
Cura a todos los enfermos con el virus. Que puedan recuperar sus fuerzas y sanar mediante un buen cuidado médico.
Sánanos de nuestros temores, los cuales no permiten que las naciones trabajen unidas y que los vecinos se ayuden unos a otros.
Cúranos de nuestro orgullo, el cual nos hace asumir invulnerabilidad ante una enfermedad que no tiene límites.
Jesucristo, tú atravesaste ciudades y pueblos “curando toda dolencia y toda enfermedad.” Acude a nosotros y ayúdanos para que podamos sentir tu amor curativo.
Jesucristo, sanador de todo, acompáñanos en estos tiempos de incertidumbre y pena.
Acompaña aquellos que han muerto por causa del virus. Que estén descansando a tu lado en tu paz eterna.
Acompaña las familias de quienes están enfermos o que han muerto. En medio de sus preocupaciones y penas, líbrales de enfermedad y desesperación. Permíteles sentir tu paz.
Acompaña los doctores, enfermeras, investigadores y todos los profesionales médicos que andan en búsqueda de sanar y ayudar a los afectados, y que corren riesgos en el proceso. Permíteles sentir tu protección y paz.
Acompaña los líderes de todas las naciones. Dales la visión para actuar con amor, y un verdadero interés en el bienestar de la gente que deben de servir. Dales la sabiduría para poder invertir en soluciones de largo plazo que ayudarán a la preparación o prevención de futuros brotes. Permíteles conocer tu paz en esta tierra, mientras juntos trabajan para lograrlo.
Ya estemos en nuestras casas o en el extranjero, rodeados de muchos o de unos pocos que sufren de esta enfermedad, Jesucristo, acompáñanos mientras soportamos y lamentamos, persistimos y nos preparamos. Sustituye nuestra ansiedad por tu paz.
Jesucristo, sánanos. Amen.
