Prayer for an End to the Coronavirus
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign
of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain,
with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that,
as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself,
and bore our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test
– and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessedVirgin.
Prayer against Anxiety
Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled
heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can't seemto find my balance so
I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of
mind to find my purpose and walk the path you've laid out for me. Help
me in these times to know your strength, courage and love as I walk
through these days. Let me see light and hope in darkness, love and life
in uncertainty and most of all let me experience your presence in these
days.

The Needto Pray
The republic of Ireland has forgotten God, our Government have put
God aside and many of our Catholic people have forgotten the
importance of their soul and spiritual roots. Our ancestor’s prayer at
Mass Rocks in times of persecution, they stood our beyond the normal
to spent time with God. Our history, journey and story recalls a people
of courage and perseverance in faith. The Republic of Ireland is one of
the few Countries in the world that has restricted worship in our
Churches. If we do not priorities God, if we do not pray to Him, if we
do not receive Him in the Eucharist, then how do we expect God to
help, support and guide us in these difficult times? Our Churches have
done everything possible to protect its Parishioners which includes
sanitisation and cleaning after every Mass. It is time for our
Government to look at its priorities.

Care at the End of Life – Pastoral Message
“We want to say very clearly that there is no such thing as a life without
value. We hope to be a voice for those who, in a time of vulnerability,
feel that they have no voice. We ask people to consider the manner in
which assistedsuicide and euthanasia undermines the whole ethos of
healthcare. Doctors and nurses are called to be advocates for life and
should never be required to assist in any way in the deliberate ending of
life. Read the Irish Catholic Bishops’ pastoral message on end of life
care in full on www.elphindiocese.ie
