Comfort us, O Lord, for we are like your disciples on the storm tossed seas, unsettled by what lies ahead.

We turn to You, our Healer and Guide, to still our hearts in our time of need and hear our prayer:

    We turn to You, our Healer and Guide, to still our hearts in our time of need and hear our prayer:

    Heal those who are sick with the coronavirus and protect the elderly and most vulnerable.

    Give strength to all who tend to our health and wisdom to researchers who work toward a cure.

    Open our eyes and hearts, as you did during Hurricane Harvey, that we may look beyond our immediate
    needs to care for others who need help.

    Through the Holy Spirit, guide our leaders to make wise decisions for the welfare of all the people they    
    serve.

    Grant eternal rest to those who have died from the virus.

May Mary, Our Mother, who has heard our pleas in the storms of our lives,

intercede to her Son, that we may find healing and a prompt end to this illness.

Mary, Star of the Sea, pray for us.

Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, heal us.
AMEN.
