The Coronavirus Novena

Now is the time for an army of prayer warriors to grab our powerful weapons, rosaries, sacramentals, holy water, blessed salt and also join together in a force like this focused novena sent to me by a friend called The Coronavirus Novena.

The message accompanying this petition for prayers said: 

"While we face the coronavirus pandemic, let us turn to the face of God in prayer and ask for His healing, His help and His protection. 

We will start praying on Friday, March 20th. 

We will pray for all who are affected, for all who are sick and suffering, for all those who work in the medical profession, and for those who have died as well as for their grieving family members. 

During this novena we will be asking the intercession of these saints:

The Fourteen Holy Helpers, those who lived during the time of the plague -

St. Anthony the Great, patron of those affected by infectious diseases

St. Edmund, patron for victims of pandemics

St. Damien of Molokai, who put himself at risk to minister to lepers

St. Rocco, who is venerated for his prayers for those suffering from infectious diseases

St. Joseph, patron of the dying

St. Jude and St. Rita, patrons of impossible causes

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, who founded hospitals dedicated to caring for the sick

and Mary, Undoer of Knots.

Your friends and family can sign up to pray with us here."
