Today we are remembering all those who experience hardship and difficulty in their lives, especially those affected by COVID-19. Many have been hurt physically and emotionally. Others have lost jobs and hope. Some are overcome with worry and anxiety. We ask that they will know that God is still with them in their difficulties and that God will surround them with good friends and support.

You can also join us on Facebook anytime during the day. You can download the prayer and intentions for each day.

Mary,

you are always with the brothers and sisters of your Son.

We entrust ourselves to you

in the midst of all that is happening to us.

Help us to protect and look after each other.

Be with those who mourn and those who are sick,

those who have lost jobs and hope.

Be with us in our fear and uncertainty. Don't let worry and anxiety overcome us.

Be our source of hope.

Lend your strength to all those helping others and those who are caring for the sick.

Help us to end this disease.

Intercede for us with your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
