Lord Jesus Christ,
You traveled through towns and villages curing every disease and illness. At your command, the sick was made well. Come to our aid now, amidst the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love. Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. Be with the doctors, nurses, researches and all medical practitioners who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May you give them Your Divine protection and peace. Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well- being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they receive Your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth. Wherever we are, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, stay with us Lord, as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us Your peace. Lord Jesus Christ, heal us.
