Call to Prayer by Pope Francis March 15, 2020
Prayers and Call to Prayers for specific reasons.
Here is the Pope's prayer seeking refuge under the protection of Mary, Mother of Jesus, our Lord against the coronavirus pandemic:
“O Mary, you shine continuously along our
journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
“We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the Cross
were near to the pain of Jesus, keeping your faith firm.
“You, Salvation of the Roman people, know what we need, and we trust
that you will provide for those needs so that, as at Cana of
Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this moment of trial.
“Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of
the Father and to do what Jesus tells us, He who took our sufferings
upon Himself, and took up our sorrows to bring us, through the
Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
“We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not
despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from
every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.”
