ST. JOSEPH PRAYER 

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,

Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

To you God entrusted his only Son; 

in you Mary placed her trust; 

with you Christ became man. 

 

Blessed Joseph, to us too,

show yourself a father 

and guide us in the path of life. 

Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, 

and defend us from every evil. Amen.

ORATIO IMPERATA

God our Father,

We come to you in our need

To ask your protection against 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 pandemic.

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.

Grant 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.

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION 

O My Jesus, 

I believe that you are truly present 

in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. 

I love you above all things and desire 

to receive you into my soul. 

Since I cannot at this moment 

receive you sacramentally, 

Come at least spiritually into my heart. 

I adore you with profound reverence and 

embrace you as if you were already there 

And unite myself wholly to you. 

Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
