O Mary,
you always shine on our path
as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,
who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.
You, Salvation of the Roman People,
know what we need,
and we are sure you will provide
so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows
to lead us, through the cross,
to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
 

Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

During this difficult time our world is facing with the coronavirus, we have the opportunity to grow in our friendship with Jesus and to pray and offer sacrifices on behalf of others who are in need. We are missionaries even at home. 

What can I do to as missionary at home?

1. Pray the Mission Rosary with your family for peace and healing in the whole world.
2. Clean your room and do extra things around the house to help your mom and dad or siblings.
3. Say the Divine Mercy Chaplet and ask the Holy Spirit to be at the bedside of someone sick or dying.
4. Read the Sunday Mass readings. As a family, participate in a live-streamed Sunday Mass. Click on the link to find spiritual resources for live-streamed masses and prayers: https://adw.org/live-streamed-masses-and-prayers/

2. Consider a Prayer of Spiritual Communion.
When you cannot receive Communion in-person, saying the prayer of Spiritual Communion can be an equally powerful way to receive Jesus. Learn more about the practice  here, and find the text below.

My Jesus,
I believe that You 
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separate from You.
Amen.
