Pope Francis’s Prayer to Mary During Coronavirus Pandemic


O Mary, 

you always shine on our path 

as a sign of salvation and of hope. 

We entrust ourselves to you, 

Health of the Sick,

  who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain,

  keeping your faith firm.

  You, Salvation of the Roman People,

know what we need,

and we are sure you will provide

  so that, as in Cana of Galilee, 

we may return to joy and to feasting

  after this me of trial. 

Help us, Mother of Divine Love, 

to conform to the will of the Father 

and to do as we are told by Jesus,

  who has taken upon himself our sufferings 

and carried our sorrows  to lead us, through the cross,

  to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.   

Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy  Mother of God.

Do not disdain the entreaties 

of we who are in trial,

but deliver us from  every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
