prayer in time of pandemic
O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering
for our salvation, hear the prayers of your Church
for our
sick brothers and sisters
and deliver us from this time of trial.
Open our ears and our hearts to the voice of your Son:
Be not afraid, for I am with you always.
Bless all doctors and nurses, researchers and public servants;
give us the wisdom to do what is right and the faith to endure this hour,
that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your Church, delivered from all distress and confident in your mercy.
Through Christ our Lord. AmenORACION EN TIEMPO DE PANDEMIA
Oh Dios, cuyo Hijo único cargó con el sufrimiento de toda la humanidad por nuestra salvación, escucha las oraciones de tu Iglesia por nuestros hermanos y hermanas enfermos y auxílianos en esta hora de angustia.
Abre nuestros oídos y nuestros corazones para escuchar la voz de tu Hijo: “No tengan miedo, estoy con ustedes siempre.”
Bendice a todos los doctores y enfermeras, investigadores y servidores públicos; Danos la sabiduría para hacer lo correcto y la fe necesaria para vivir este momento; Que nos volvamos a reunir una vez más para bendecir tu nombre en el corazón de la Iglesia, libres ya de toda ansiedad y confiados en tu misericordia.Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo. Amen. -
