with competence and compassion.We pray for those afflicted. May they be restored to health soon.
Protect those who care for them. Grant eternal rest to those who have died.Grant us the grace in this trying time to work for the good of all
and to help those in need. We implore You to stop the spread of this virus and to save us from our fears.Grant 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.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
