Prayer Petitions For March 21, 2020

Let us give glory to God, who has concern for us all. Let us call upon him and say:
Lord, save the people you have redeemed.

Giver of all gifts and source of all truth, give the fullness of your blessing to the college of bishops,
— and keep all those entrusted to their care faithful to the teaching of the apostles.
Lord, save the people you have redeemed.

Pour your love into the hearts of all who share the one bread of life,
— that they may grow in unity in the body of your Son.
Lord, save the people you have redeemed.

Help us to strip off our sinful selves,
— and to be clothed with Christ, your Son, the new Adam.
Lord, save the people you have redeemed.

Grant that all may do penance and find forgiveness,
— and so share in the fruits of Christ’s redeeming death.
Lord, save the people you have redeemed.

May those who have died in your peace give you everlasting glory in heaven,
— where we, too, hope to praise you for ever.
Lord, save the people you have redeemed.

The Suspension of Holy Mass and the Sacraments as the Coronavirus Pandemic Escalates: A Reflection in the Light of the Third Sorrow of Mary
Have you been afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic? Perhaps you are now under a lockdown, or in self-quarantine? I encourage you to read this article I wrote on my thoughts about the coronavirus and its historic impact on the Catholic Church: the temporary suspension of Holy Mass and the Sacraments. My Reflection tackles the deeper meaning of these events for Catholics—in the light of the Third of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. So wherever you are in the world, this Post may serve as a source of strength and faith in this uncertain and trying time.

Feature Post:
Act of Spiritual Communion
If you are unable to physically receive Holy Communion, especially in the midst of the pandemic, make a solemn recitation of this Prayer for Spiritual Communion by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
