During this time of national sickness,/ born of a disregard for the welfare of others,/ there are accounts of civil unrest,/ threats and violence./ May we be healed of our anger and fear./ We pray to the Lord.
In Mary's spring-month of May,/ we ask to grow into the likeness of Christ;/ to be found among the clean of heart./ We pray to the Lord.
For the safety,/ health and well-being of our families and friends./ For anyone who is suffering loneliness./ We pray to the Lord.
As light continues to increase in our hemisphere,/ we ask for the enlightenment of those who govern and lead — the light of authenticity,/ intelligence,/ compassion and goodness./ We pray to the Lord.
For those who lack health care,/ who share apartments,/ who are unemployed or living in insecurity./ We pray for a more just world./ Where there is cynicism or discouragement,/ may we add a positive voice./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for the more than 97,000 people who have died in the United States from the Coronavirus./ Each of them leaves behind loved ones who are sad./ We pray for them as well;/ for their comforting and strength./ We pray to the Lord.
