Daily Prayers for an end to the Coronavirus Pandemic
Today we pray for those students whose academic progress has been interrupted by the Coronavirus. We pray that this time may become a time to appreciate the gift of knowledge.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord, Have Mercy. Lord, Have Mercy.
Christ, Have Mercy. Christ, Have Mercy.
Lord, Have Mercy. Lord, Have Mercy.
Lord, Hear Us. Lord, Hear Us.
Lord, Graciously Hear Us. Lord, Graciously Hear Us.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
A reading from the letter of Paul to the Colossians.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Dear God, We know that the beginning of wisdom occurs when we recognize you as the source of all wisdom. You have given us so many gifts. During this time of pandemic, help those students who must interrupt their time at school and learn under new and challenging circumstances. Help them to focus on you, the source of all wisdom, and to do their best. Help them to strengthen those relationships with family, friends and relatives in new ways. We ask this prayer in the name of your Son Jesus who lives with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen. May almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us safely to everlasting life. Amen.
