ORATIO IMPERATA, The Prayer of These Difficult Times

Oratio Imperata

God our Father,
We come to you in our need
To ask your protection against the 2019 Corona Virus
That has claimed lives
And has affected many.

We pray for your grace

For the people tasked with studying the nature and cause
Of this virus and its disease
And of stemming the tide of its transmission.

Guide the hands and minds of medical experts

That they may minister to the sick
With competence and compassion,
And of those governments and private agencies
That must find cure and solution to this epidemic.

We pray for those afflicted

May they be restored to health soon.

Grant us the grace

To work for the good of all
And to help those in need.

Grand this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son,

Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, forever and ever. Amen.

Mary, Help of all Christians, pray for us.

Saint Ralphael the Archangel, pray for us.
Saint Roch, pray for us.
Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.
Saint Pedro Calungsod, pray for us.
