Prayer to Mary
During the Coronavirus Panademic
Mary, you shine continuously along our journey
as a sign of salvation and hope.
Entrust ourselves to you, health of the sick,
who at the cross were near to
the pain of Jesus keeing your faith firm.
You, salvation of the Roman people,
know what we need,
and we trust that you will provide for those needs so that,
as at Cana of Galilee,
joy and celebration may return after this moment of trial.
Help us Mother of divine Love,
to comform ourselves to the will of the Father
and to do what Jesus tells us,
he who took our sufferings upon Himself,
and took up our sorrows to bring us through the Cross,
to the joy of the Resurrection Amen
We seek refuge under your protection,
O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas –
we who are put to the test –
and deliver us from every danger,
O glorious and blessed Virgin

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the
Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things
and I desire to receive
You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually
into my heart.
I embrace You as if
You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen
