Prayer for an End to Covid-19 by St. Clare RE 3rd Grade Students

Prayer for an end to Covid 19

We pray through the Intercession of Mary, our Blessed Mother: By Pope Francis


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, Mother of the world,
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. Amen

Important Message from Fr. Richard

A Note from Fr. Richard

In a letter to the Faithful of the NY Archdiocese, 

Cardinal Timothy Dolan stated:

 “Just like you and your family, the parishes of the archdiocese are suffering from this crisis as well.  Now, perhaps more than at any time in recent history, your parish and the archdiocese need your help.  It can’t survive without you.”

You can help by enrolling in St. Clare’s Online Giving program. During this difficult time when you are unable to attend Mass in person, we ask you to continue your generous offerings that we rely exclusively upon to keep our Parish operating both now and beyond this crisis. Simply click the “Online Giving” image on the left hand side of this page or the link below to begin your enrollment.  As always, May God Bless the wonderful people of St. Clare, Fr. Richard
