God our Father,
we come to you in our need,
to ask your protection against the COVID-19, that has disturbed and even claimed lives.

We pray that you guide the people
tasked to find cures for this disease
and to stem its transmission.
Protect the medical experts that they may minister
to the sick with competence and compassion.

We pray for those afflicted.
May they be restored to health soon.
Protect those who care for them.
Grant eternal rest to those who have died.

Give us the grace in this trying time
to work for the good of all and to help those in need.
We implore you to stop the spread of this virus
and to save us from our fears.

Grant all these through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.

We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our petition in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Our Lady, health of the sick, pray for us.
Saint Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.
San Roque, pray for us.
San Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.
San Pedro Calungsod, pray for us.

So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls – Pray for me.

Lay Your hand also upon all of us and give us Your blessing. O little King, grant the treasures of Your divine mercy to all the world, and keep us now and always in the grace of your love! Amen..

O Señor Sto. Niño, have mercy on us!
