THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Fr. Jim's Jots

Dear Friends of Saint Elizabeth Catholic Church, during this time of the COVID virus and all the challenges we are facing, I wanted us to revisit and perhaps cut out and pray daily this special prayer to help us.  You remain in my thoughts and prayers.  If you need any help, please contact the parish office or myself.

USCCB COVID PRAYER

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana.

Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.

For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.  Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, wipe away their tears and help them to trust.

In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind.  Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.

We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy.  Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim
