We fly to you today as your beloved children.
We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana.
Pray for us, loving Mother,
and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels,
that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, wipe away their tears and help them to trust.
In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.
We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms,
help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
A prayer for those who would offer one hour of adoration and repartion at home, at work, in hospital, in prison, or while traveling: Lord Jesus Christ, although I cannot, during this hour, approach Thee physically
in the Sacrament of Thy love, I would approach Thee by desire and by faith.
Transport me, I beseech Thee, by the lifting up of my mind and heart,
to that tabernacle in the world where Thou art, at this hour,
most forsaken, utterly forgotten, and without human company.
Let the radiance of Thy Eucharistic Face so penetrate my soul that by offering
Thee adoration and reparation, even as I am busy doing ordinary things in ordinary way,
I may obtain from Thy Sacred Heart the return of at least one priest to
the Tabernacle where Thou waitest for him today. Amen.
