Glory to God the Father, who has promised through his Son to grant what is asked by those who pray together. With confidence in this promise, let us pray:
Lord, look with favor on your people.
Lord, you gave the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai, and brought it to perfection in your Anointed One,
— may all recognize the Law written in their hearts, and keep it faithfully as a covenant.
Lord, look with favor on your people.
Give those in authority a true concern for their brothers and sisters entrusted to their care,
— and inspire the hearts of the people to support their leaders.
Lord, look with favor on your people.
Strengthen with your Spirit the minds and hearts of missionaries,
— and raise up a great company to help them from every nation.
Lord, look with favor on your people.
Give your grace to children, that they may grow in your favor,
— and to young people, that they may reach their full stature by loving you and keeping your commandments.
Lord, look with favor on your people.
Remember our brothers and sisters, who have fallen asleep in your peace,
— bring them at last to eternal life.
Lord, look with favor on your people.

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.
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.
Our aim is to help Catholics strengthen their spiritual life, deepen their understanding of the faith, and intensify their holiness by catechesis and a variety of Catholic information.
TheBestCatholic.com aspires to be an instrument of evangelization.We are all pilgrims of the earth, striving towards salvation.It is our fervent prayer that by God’s grace, we will be “The Best Catholic” we can ever become.
