A prayer offered by Our Holy Father, Pope Francis during the pandemic - O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey

as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you participated in

Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith. You, Salvation of the Roman People,

know what we need. We are certain that you will provide,

so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment

of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us: He who took our sufferings upon Himself,

and bore 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.

Pope Francis invites us to unite ourselves to our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and one another in the spiritual communion of the Eucharist, as more governments encourage citizens to stay at home to stop the spread of Covid-19. “In this situation of pandemic, in which we find ourselves living more or less isolated, we are invited to rediscover and deepen the value of the communion that unites all the members of the Church.” Pope Francis...

Union in Christ This week has seen a raft of border closures, flight bans, and declarations of national emergencies as the Covid-19 Coronavirus continues to spread around the world. The Pope recalled that “United to Christ we are never alone, but we form one single Body, of which He is the Head.” Pope Francis called it “a union that is nourished with prayer, and also with the spiritual communion in the Eucharist, a practice that is highly recommended when it is not possible to receive the Sacrament.” The Holy Father said he was speaking to everyone, especially those who are homebound, alone and feeling isolated during this pandemic.
