prayer to our lady

by pope francis

“We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God”.

In the present tragic situation, when the

whole world is prey to suffering and

anxiety, we fly to you, Mother of God and our

Mother, and seek refuge under your

protection.

Virgin Mary, turn your merciful eyes towards us amid this coronavirus pandemic. Comfort those who are distraught and mourn their loved ones who have died, and at times are buried in a way that grieves them deeply. Be close to those who are concerned for their loved ones who are sick and who, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, cannot be close to them. Fill with hope those who are troubled by the uncertainty of the future and the consequences for

the economy and employment.

Mother of God and our Mother, pray for us to

God, the Father of mercies, that this great

suffering may end and that hope and peace

may dawn anew. Plead with your divine Son,

as you did at Cana, so that the families of the

sick and the victims be comforted, and their

hearts be opened to confidence and trust.

Protect those doctors, nurses, health

workers and volunteers who are on the

frontline of this emergency, and are

risking their lives to save others. Support

their heroic effort and grant them

strength, generosity and continued health.

Be close to those who assist the sick night and day,

and to priests who, in their pastoral concern and

fidelity to the Gospel, are trying to help and

support everyone.

​

Blessed Virgin, illumine the minds of men and women

engaged in scientific research, that they may find

effective solutions to overcome this virus.

Support national leaders, that with

wisdom, solicitude and generosity they

may come to the aid of those lacking the

basic necessities of life and may devise

social and economic solutions inspired

by farsightedness and solidarity.

Mary Most Holy, stir our consciences,

so that the enormous funds invested in

developing and stockpiling arms will

instead be spent on promoting effective

research on how to prevent similar

tragedies from occurring in the future.

Beloved Mother, help us realize that we are

all members of one great family and to

recognize the bond that unites us, so that, in

a spirit of fraternity and solidarity, we can

help to alleviate countless situations of

poverty and need. Make us strong in faith,

persevering in service, constant in prayer.

Mary, Consolation of the afflicted,

embrace all your children in distress

and pray that God will stretch out his

all-powerful hand and free us from

this terrible pandemic, so that life can

serenely resume its normal course.

To you, who shine on our journey

as a sign of salvation and hope, do

we entrust ourselves, O Clement, O

Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.

May the divine assistance remain always with us.

Amen.

and may the souls of the faithful departed,

through the mercy of god, �rest in peace.

Amen.
