we are drawn more deeply into the mystery of God’s steadfast love for all humanity:

Reina de los Ángeles y Madre de las Américas.

Venimos a Tí hoy como tus amados hijos.

Te pedimos que intercedas por nosotros a tu Hijo, como lo hiciste en las bodas de Caná.

Ruega por nosotros, Madre amorosa,

y gana para nuestra nación, el mundo,

y para todas nuestras familias y seres queridos,

la protección de tus santos ángeles,

para que podamos salvarnos de lo peor de esa enfermedad.

Para aquellos que ya están afectados,

te pedimos le obtengas la gracia de la curación y la liberación.

Escucha los gritos de aquellos que son vulnerables y temerosos,

limpia sus lágrimas y ayúdalos a confiar.

En este tiempo de prueba y adversidad,

enséñanos a todos en la Iglesia a amarnos unos a otros y a ser

paciente y amable.

Ayúdanos a llevar la paz de Jesús a nuestra tierra y a nuestros corazones.

Venimos a Tí con confianza.

sabiendo que realmente eres nuestra Madre compasiva, salud de los enfermos y causa de

nuestra alegría.

Refúgianos bajo el manto de tu protección,

mantennos adheridos a tus brazos,

ayúdanos a conocer siempre el amor de tu Hijo, Jesús.

Amén.

Communion by saying a prayer like this one: “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.”
