Prayer for our Nation
Protect, O Holy Guardian, this our nation.
Enlighten those responsible for the common good, so that they might know — like you do — how to care for those entrusted to them.
Grant intelligence of knowledge to those seeking adequate means for the health and physical well-being of their brothers and sisters.
Sustain those who are spending themselves for those in need, even at the cost of their own safety: volunteers, nurses, doctors and others who are on the front lines in curing the sick.
Bless, St Joseph, the Church: beginning with her ministers, make her the sign and instrument of your light and your goodness.
Accompany, O St Joseph, our families: with your prayerful silence, create harmony between parents and their children, in a special way with the youngest. Preserve the elderly from loneliness: grant that no one might be left in desperation from abandonment and discouragement.
Comfort the most frail,
Encourage those who falter,
Intercede for the poor. With the Virgin Mother, we beg the Lord to liberate the world from every form of pandemic. Amen. --L’ osservatore Romano
