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. 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.

Fill with hope those who are troubled by the uncertainty of the future and the consequences for the economy and employment. 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. 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. Virgin Mary, turn your merciful eyes towards us amid this coronavirus pandemic. 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. “We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God”. To conform ourselves to the will of the Father We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, I thank you, and with great affection I send you my blessing. I keep all of you in my prayers, especially those suffering most greatly, and I ask you, please, to pray for me. I include them with this letter so that they are available to everyone.ĭear brothers and sisters, contemplating the face of Christ with the heart of Mary our Mother will make us even more united as a spiritual family and will help us overcome this time of trial. I am also providing two prayers to Our Lady that you can recite at the end of the Rosary, and that I myself will pray in the month of May, in spiritual union with all of you. The key to doing this is always simplicity, and it is easy also on the internet to find good models of prayers to follow. This can be done either as a group or individually you can decide according to your own situations, making the most of both opportunities. The restrictions of the pandemic have made us come to appreciate all the more this “family” aspect, also from a spiritual point of view.įor this reason, I want to encourage everyone to rediscover the beauty of praying the Rosary at home in the month of May. It is traditional in this month to pray the Rosary at home within the family. The month of May is approaching, a time when the People of God express with particular intensity their love and devotion for the Blessed Virgin Mary. TO THE FAITHFUL FOR THE MONTH OF MAY 2020
