Daily Prayer to be Said During the Coronavirus
Pandemic
Loving God Your Son, Jesus Christ traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and
illness.” At His command, the sick were made well.
Come to our aid now, God of all life, and in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, may
we experience your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health.
Gentle God, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.
Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from
illness and despair. May they know your peace.
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers, first responders, essential workers and all who seek to heal, serve, and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know
your protection and peace.
Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the
well-being of the people they are meant to serve.
Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and
mourn, persist and prepare.
In place of our anxiety, give us your peace, comfort and love.
Gentle and Loving God, heal us and come to our aid.
Amen.

Holy Land Gifts - Olive Wood Carvings for sale after Masses
Holy Land Gifts, represented by the Rashmawi family who are volunteer members from the Roman Catholic Church in Bethlehem, will be visiting our Parish the weekend of August 22-23 to talk about the dire Christian situation in the Holy Land and have the olive wood crafts for sale.
These religious crafts are made in home workshops by Catholic families who make their day to day living by selling them to pilgrims and tourists that visit the holy sites and shrines. With the hostilities worsening in the Holy Land and a lack of Christian pilgrims, the traditional workshops of Olivewood have sustained severe damage. Therefore, unemployment there is at an all-time high, around 90%. The Christian community relies on services offered to pilgrims as a main source of income for the community. Olive wood items and carvings are the only tangible products they can produce and export.
The Catholics of the Holy Land graciously ask your support through prayers and the purchase of these special religious art pieces. Proceeds of the sales generate much needed employment and income for the Catholic community in Bethlehem.
