Please read, study and pray over this statement regarding the death of Mr. George Floyd from our Episcopal Conference. May the Holy Spirit enkindle in the hearts of us all the fire of His Divine Love. May that love help us to work to heal the Racial Divide in the United States and bring an end to racial prejudice and social unrest.

A Prayer to Combat the Coronavirus Pandemic
Most Merciful and Triune God,
We come to You in our weakness.
We come to You in our fear.
We come to You with trust.

For You alone are our hope.
We place before You the disease present in our world.
We turn to You in our time of need.

Bring wisdom to doctors.
Give understanding to scientists.
Endow caregivers with compassion and generosity.
Bring healing to those who are ill.
Protect those who are most at risk.
Give comfort to those who have lost a loved one.
Welcome those who have died into Your Eternal Home.

Stabilize our communities.
Unite us in our compassion.
Remove all fear from our hearts.
Fill us with confidence in Your care.

Jesus, I trust in You.
Jesus, I trust in You.
Jesus, I trust in You.

Amen.

Adult Faith Formation:

Racism still profoundly affects our culture, and it has no place in the Christian heart. This evil causes great harm to its victims, and it corrupts the souls of those who harbor racist or prejudicial thoughts. Below is a link to a video published by the United States Catholic Bishops urging us as Catholics to do our part in ridding our country of this evil.
