Special Prayers during this Pandemic

Letter/prayer to a friend: by Anne Wuolu,

member Ct. St. Gerard #2518, Valley City, ND

  In response to a cry for help from a friend,

Anne wrote the following short prayer.

She kindly allowed it to be shared.

Dear You,

​    

God loves you so much. We're not in control. Jesus is bringing us to the Garden of Gethsemane with Him. We are with Him there and He is with us. He sees us now there. He created time and space, so all is present to Him. We suffer with Him. I do know His love. You and i are madly in love with Him. That's why our hearts are crushed and broken as He is in the Garden. Let's walk with Him in His Passion, but remember that Easter happened and continues. I know He loves us. Your prayers are definitely working. Let us give our entire selves to His will as He did in the Garden. Let us begin to trust Him, continue to pray and let Him do the rest; let Him be in control. Let us together know we are loved beyond what we can imagine. To this we pray and give our lives over to Him. Let us trust Him that He will work in ways we cannot understand. May His love abide in us and bring us peace. Keep looking at His face. 

Love, Peace, Joy and Prayers, Anne

P.S Jesus is driving. 

We just need the courage to hop in and ride along.

A Prayer, as I put on my mask:

Creator,

As I prepare to go into the world,

help me to see the sacrament

in the wearing of this cloth. 

Let it be "an outward sign

of an inward grace" -

a tangible and visible way of living.

Love for my neighbors,

as I love myself. 

Christ,

Since my lips will be covered,

uncover my heart,

that people would see my smile 

in the crinkles around my eyes.

Since my voice may be muffled,

help me to speak clearly,

not only with my words,

but with my actions.

Holy Spirit,

As the elastic touches my ears,

remind me to listen carefully =

and full of care -

to all those I meet.

May this simple piece of cloth

be shield and banner,

and each breath that it holds,

be filled with Your love.

In Your name and 

in the name of love

I pray.:

May it be so. May it be so.

Spiritual Communion Prayer with Our Lord anywhere:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
