20. Lord, the healthworkers are fighting to keep their desire to serve, we pray that you will renew their passion, joy and contentment in their calling 

21. God of Salvation,We turn to you Lord w/ a prayer for protection and healing during this time when the Coronavirus is spreading. Help those who are sick. Grant patience to those who live in quarantine. Give strength to all who take care of others. Inspire scientists in their research. Strengthen among us the sense of togetherness. Grant that no one be abandoned. Let everyone feel safe together and w/ You, who are compassion itself. Through the intercession of Blessed Mary of the Apostles , we thank you, present and faithful God, who lives and loves forever and ever.

22. Lord, Jesus Christ, You became human and took on the realities of humanity in our world. During Your life on earth,You gave hope, perspective and salvation to many. Your words are challenging, uplifting, encouraging and guiding. At the end of your earthly life here in our world, You took upon yourself all suffering and made the cross a sign of hope. At this time when the whole world is suffering, when people are isolated and left to themselves, when people mourn for their loved ones, where people are sacrificing their physical and psychological strength to help others, we pray in solidarity and entrust ourselves to You. Amen.

23. Almighty God, we know that everything is in Your sovereign control. We ask that You keep this novel coronavirus from continuing to spread. Give government authorities the ability to safely handle this health crisis. Help people decide to stay home instead of traveling or going out needlessly. And while it may be heartbreaking, comfort families as they decide to keep their distance from elderly or other high-risk family members.

24. Jesus, You showed Your power and caring by healing people of all ages and stations of life from physical, mental, and spiritual ailments. Be present now to people who need Your loving touch because of COVID-19. May they feel Your power of healing  and compassion. 

25. Take away the fear, anxiety, and feelings of isolation from people receiving treatment for Covid 19 infection  or under quarantine. Give them a sense of purpose in pursuing health and protecting others from exposure to the disease. Protect their families and friends and bring peace to all who love them. 

26. Lord, we lift to You our concern for people who are more likely than others to become  ill from COVID-19 — the elderly and people with chronic health conditions. Likewise, Protect those who are exposed to the virus. In a special we pray for protection for the Santos family especially Daisy from harm.  Be their comfort in this time of uncertainty and, for many, preventive isolation from loved ones and friends. 

27. Jesus, we thank You for Your faithfulness in how you have guided and equipped people in their jobs and have provided in the past. It can be scary and overwhelming not knowing how bills and obligations will be met or to not be able to provide for families. As people feel financial strain during the uncertainty, bring them comfort and peace, reminding them that You are there for them. Provide for them in their times of need.

28. Father, we seek Your wisdom daily. Be with people making decisions that affect the lives and futures of our families, communities, countries, and the wider world. We pray that the present leaders in govt can communicate clearly, truthfully, and calmly — with each other and with the public — and that their messages are received and heeded. May truth and empathy be the touchstones of people setting policies for our protection.

29. God, as more people get sick, healthcare workers and first responders are working longer hours with fewer supplies and with more risk of contracting the coronavirus themselves. Renew their energy and sustain them on long shifts. Bring Your protection upon them as they work with patients. Multiply their supplies so they have the protective items needed to stay safe on the job. Inspire and invigorate the research doctors developing better tests to diagnose the virus, create vaccines to prevent it, and identify protocols to eliminate the disease’s spread.
