Oratio Imperata for Protection Against the Covid-19 Virus

Merciful and compassionate Father, we come to you in our need to seek your protection against the COVID 19 virus that has disturbed and even claimed lives.

We ask you now to look upon us with love and by your healing hand, dispel the fear of sickness and death, restore our hope, and strengthen our faith.

We pray that you guide the people tasked to find cures for this disease and to stem its transmission.

We thank you for the vaccines developed made possible by your guiding hands.

Bless our efforts to use these vaccines to end the pandemic in our country.

We pray for our health workers that they may minister to the sick with competence and compassion.

Grant them health in mind and body, strength in their commitment, protection from the disease.

We pray for those afflicted. May they be restored to health. Protect those who care for them. Grant eternal rest to those who have died.

Give us the grace in these trying times to work for the good of all and to help those in need. May our concern and compassion for each other see us through this crisis and lead us to conversion and holiness.

Grant all these through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.

We fly to Your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our petition in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Prayer For The Sick

For The Sick

Dear Lord, You bore our sufferings
 and carried our sorrows
 in order to show us clearly
 the value of human weakness and patience.
I now turn to You to ask You to heal
 the body and soul of [Name]
 I know, Lord, that sin tears away
 relationships between people and You
But there is no illness and no wound
 that You cannot heal.
Come and touch [Name]
 where he/she is most wounded and afflicted.

I believe in Your healing power and
 I trust and hope that You will hear my request
 for my sick brother/sister/family member/friend

If it is your will, however, that [Name]
 should carry this cross of illness
Then I humbly pray that you give him/her
 the strength and perseverance
 to bear his/her cross with love
Grant that he/she and all those
 who are now weighed down
 with pain and other afflictions
 may realize that they are
among the chosen ones
 whom you call blessed.

Help them to understand
 that they are united with you
in your sufferings
for the salvation of the world.

Amen.
