Bishop Dennis Sullivan has requested that the laity and clergy of the Diocese of Camden use the following prayer in their daily lives and private celebrations of the Mass as we continue to pray for relief from the effects of the coronavirus. The prayer, written by a priest of the diocese, was first distributed on March 13th.
Lord Jesus, you heal the sick. We pray that the coronavirus that has affected so many in our world can be contained, controlled, and cured. We lift up to your mercy all those affected, all those working hard to study and cure this illness, and all health care professionals and emergency management teams that are working day and night to keep us safe. Help us, Lord, to trust in your merciful care.
Lord Jesus, hear our prayer.
Amen.
