The last few weeks have been difficult for many of us living in the new reality brought on by COVID-19.
In past times like these when people have felt a crushing powerlessness, the faithful have found hope, help, and even miraculous cures through the intercession of the saints.
The saints remind us that we are not facing this crisis on our own; we have the Lord and His glorified souls who stand ready to intercede for those who call upon them.
Prayer to St. Corona in a Time of Epidemic
Lord Jesus Christ, You came into this world for our salvation. Look kindly on us now, we pray, that we, and all those who serve You, might be kept safe from this epidemic.
Heal those who are sick, comfort the suffering, bring back those who have gone astray, and above all, increase our faith, O Lord.
Give us the grace to follow You and, like the martyr St. Corona, who gave her life for love of You, to take up our crosses daily without fear or hesitation.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
St. Corona, patroness of epidemic victims, pray for us.
