Prayer for spiritual Communion
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 in 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 separated from You. Amen.
-
Preghiera per la comunione spirituale
Gesù mio, io credo che sei realmente presente nel Santissimo Sacramento. Ti amo sopra ogni cosa e ti desidero nell' anima mia. Poiché ora non posso riceverti sacramentalmente, vieni almeno spiritualmente nel mio cuore. Come già venuto, io ti abbraccio e tutto mi unisco a te. Non permettere che mi abbia mai a separare da te. Amen.
-
Oración para la comunión espiritual
Creo, Jesús mío, que estás realmente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento del altar. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo ardientemente recibirte dentro de mi alma, pero no pudiendo hacerlo sacramentalmente, ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Quédate conmigo y no permitas que me separe de ti. Amen.

a Prayer from pope Francis - 5/24/20
"Our Lady, Health of the Sick, and St. Joseph, protect our families from COVID-19,
especially the ill and those who are caring for the sick, the doctors, nurses, who are risking their lives"
-
A Prayer for 2020 - 5/24/20
On the feast of Our Lady, Help of Christians on May 24, Pope Francis encouraged that we pray a special prayer this year. It is a prayer to ask for the grace to care not only for our most fragile brothers and sisters but also for the home we all share.
Loving God,
Creator of Heaven, Earth, and all therein contained.
Open our minds and touch our hearts,
so that we can be part of Creation, your gift.
Be present to those in need in these difficult times,
especially the poorest and most vulnerable.
Help us to show creative solidarity
as we confront the consequences of the global pandemic.
Make us courageous in embracing the changes
required to seek the common good.
Now more than ever, may we all feel Interconnected and interdependent.
Enable us to succeed in listening and responding
to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor.
May their current sufferings become the
birth-pangs of a more fraternal and sustainable world.
We pray through Christ our Lord,
under the loving gaze of Mary Help of Christians,
Amen.

Prayer to the Virgin Mary for Protection
-
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, Our Lady of New York, 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.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. Amen.
