Lord Jesus,

Hear our please, our Good Shepherd and divine Physician.  We implore your mercy in the wake of an outbreak of serious illness and disease.

​

Guide our efforts to prevent contagion and make preparations to care for those most vulnerable.  Assist all professionals and volunteers who work to eradicate the epidemic now spreading.  May our actions be marked by your steadfast love and selfless service and never by panic or fear.

​

Bestow your comfort and healing to the sick, sustain and strengthen them by your grace.  May they know your closeness as they carry the cross of illness.

​

And may all who have been called from this life come to worhip you eternally with all the saints as you grant consolation and peace to their mourners.  Amen
