Prayers of Solidarity and For an End to the Covid-19 Pandemic

From Archbishop Jackels
Prayer for an end to the pandemic 

Let us pray, dearly beloved, for a swift end
to the coronavirus pandemic that afflicts our world, that our God and Father will heal the sick, strengthen those who care for them,
and help us all to persevere in faith:

Almighty and merciful God,
source of all life, health and healing,
look with compassion on our world, brought low by disease; protect us in the midst of the grave challenges that assail us and in your fatherly providence
grant recovery to the stricken,
strength to those who care for them,
and success to those working to eradicate this scourge. Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.

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 decisionmakers,
     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.
