Coronavirus Protection Prayer from Pope Francis
Authored By: Pope Francis
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 blessed Virgin.
"Our church community
is grounded in
Eucharistic faith".
Come let us adore Him!
The Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel
on Thornton Avenue in Saco is close to reopening!
There will be just three or four chairs and kneelers, and only scheduled adorers will be allowed. This will mean, usually, just one or two people will be present at a time. All extra furniture and books, etc., have been removed. We will clean and sanitize daily and request that adorers wipe down their kneeler and chair arms before they leave. Masks will be needed. We need to ensure that every hour is covered. As soon as that is accomplished, we will announce the opening date. If you were often a "drop-in", would you consider signing up for an hour once a week? If not able to commit permanently, perhaps for a month or as a substitute? If you have not yet participated in this, would you prayerfully consider becoming part of the team? Thank you for considering. For more information, please contact one of these hourly captains about openings:
