Pope Francis asked for a marathon of prayer during the month of May

To bring an end to the pandemic.

Pope Francis Prayer for Protection from the Coronavirus

 

O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign
of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.

At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain,
with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the  People, know what we need.

We are certain that you will provide, so that,
as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:

He who took our sufferings upon Himself,
and bore 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.
