A Coronavirus Prayer

Oh God Who dwells among us as in Heaven,
  grant us wisdom, understanding and knowledge;
  help us eradicate the coronavirus that threatens all people.

Assist the angels of healing,
  the doctors, nurses, first-responders, and caregivers!
Grant them the insight, the intuition,
  humility and steadfast spirit they need at this time

Endow and fortify the spirit of those who are sick with the virus
  with inner strength and faith; may they receive the proper
  medical care that they require for a speedy recovery.

Help us conquer our anxieties and fears of what we do not know.
Let us come together in the spirit of a common humanity;
Let us work on creating the ties that bond our families
   and communities together.

We pray for Divine Compassion in fighting this pandemic.
Give us the faith and vision to persevere  
And the wisdom to learn the valuable lessons
  that we all belong to one human family;  
  we need each other’s support.

And for those who have lost loved ones,
Let us as a community to offer our love and support.
May God’s divine presence look after the survivors,
And give them the strength they need at this time.
