Prayer in the Time of the Coronavirus

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana.
Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness. For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, wipe away their tears and help them to trust.
In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.
We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy. Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

為「新型冠狀病毒」時期的祈禱

至聖童貞，瓜達露佩聖母。
天神之后，美洲的母親。
我們今天投奔你的身旁，
懇求你，正如在加納婚宴中，為我們向你的親子耶穌轉求。
慈愛的母親，請為我們轉禱，
為全球及我們國家的福祉、
我們的家庭及至愛的親人，
獲得神聖天使的護祐，
脫免遭遇這個疫情的損害。
求你讓那些已經受感染者，早日獲得痊愈的恩典。
請俯聽那些弱小及懼怕者的哭求，
抹去他們無助的眼淚，增強他們的信德。
在這個試探及考驗的時刻，
教導我們懂得相親相愛，
彼此包容及善待各人，
幫助我們將基督耶穌的和平帶到這遍土地及各人的心中。
我們滿懷信心來到你的面前，
深信你是完全了解及憐憫我們的母親，
是病弱者之治癒及喜樂的泉源，
庇廕我們在你的斗篷之下，
擁抱我們在你的慈懐中，讓我們體驗你親子耶穌基督的慈愛。亞孟。
