Corona Virus Prayer by Kerry Weber

Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.

Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.

Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.

Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your 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 know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.

Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace.

Jesus Christ, heal us.

Jesucristo, sanador de todos, en este tiempo de inseguridad y de pena, permanece a nuestro lado.

Acompaña a los que han muerto por causa de este virus. Que ellos descansen en tu eterno paraíso.

Acompaña a las familias de los que están enfermos o que han muerto. Mientras se preocupan y sufren, defiéndelos de enfermedades y desesperación. Que ellos conozcan tu paz.

Acompaña a los doctores, enfermeras, científicos, y cada médico profesional que está tratando de sanar y ayudar a todos los afectados mientras ellos se ponen a riesgo en el proceso. Que sepan tu protección y paz.

Acompaña a todos los líderes mundiales, dales la previsión para actuar con caridad y preocupación verdadera para el bien estar de la gente que han sido destinados a servir. Dales la sabiduría para que pueden invertir en planes de largo plazo para ayudar y prevenir epidemias futuras. Que sepan tu paz, mientras trabajan juntos para lograrla aquí en este mundo.

Jesucristo, acompaños durante este tiempo de angustia, mientras sobrellevamos, lloramos, persistimos y nos preparamos. En lugar de ansiedad, llénanos de tu paz.

Jesucristo, sananos.
