DAILY OPENING PRAYER FOR THE NOVENA

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Father in Heaven, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

We come to you today with our fears and concerns — You know what’s in our hearts. We love You, trust You, we need You. We ask You to be with us. Stay with us. Help us through these times of uncertainty and sorrow. We know you are the Divine Physician, the healer of all. And so we ask that you bring your loving and healing presence to all those who are sick and suffering right now. Please comfort them. Please be with the grieving families of those who have passed away. Please have mercy on those who have died, may they be with You in heaven. Please stand at the side of all medical professionals who are putting themselves at risk while they work to bring healing to others. Lord, we are scared and we are sorrowful. Please heal us. Send us your peace and overwhelming presence. (Mention your intentions here)

We also ask for the great intercession of your saintly physicians especially those who lived during the time of the plague, to pray for us that our world may be healed of Corona Virus.
Jesus, we thirst for You. You chose to enter this world as a vulnerable baby. Be with the most vulnerable now.

Help us to continue to return to You with our whole hearts throughout this ordeal. Amen.
