Praying In Times Of Crisis...

Prayers...“Lord Jesus Christ,
who suffered and died on the Cross for us,
and who rose from the dead,
we implore you to end this pandemic,
here in New Mexico,
and all around the world!
Amen.---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saint Corona,*
you gave your life as a martyr
for our Lord Jesus Christ.
People have turned to you in prayer
in times of diseases or epidemics.
Please intercede for us,
that God may end this pandemic,
and most importantly,
that He may move the hearts of people
back to the Love of God and their neighbor.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen!”Father Simeon F. Wimmershoff
*By a strange coincidence, Saint Corona is a Christian martyr of the 2nd century AD, whose intercession is invoked also in cases of diseases and epidemics...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE ANGELUS PRAYER
V. -The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. -And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Together: -Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou
among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
V. -Behold, the handmaid of the Lord.
R. -Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Together: -Hail Mary...
V. -And the Word was made Flesh.
(All bow/make the since of the cross...)
R. -And dwelt among us.
Together: -Hail Mary...
V. -Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. -That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: (Prayer leader, or: together) Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts; that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an Angel, may by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION by St. Alphonsus de Ligouri, quoted from an article by Patti Armstrong "If You Can't Receive Communion, Make A Spiritual Communion" in the NCRegister, March 10, 2020, edition (cf. www.ncregister.com). This prayer was also given as an example by Pope Francis on March 21: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 into 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.

What can You Do......AS LONG AS YOU HAVE TO STAY AT HOME DURING THIS EPIDEMIC?
- keep praying at home, whether you live alone or with your family. Your life of faith ought to be lived, to be practiced at home, should be part of your whole life, not just at church...
- watch and pray the Mass online - see for example the link below for Mass at the Cathedral
or on TV, on EWTN, or another channel, and spiritually unite
yourself with our Eucharistic Lord, who is present and who
will remain present in all the Tabernacles ("Spiritual
Communion"; see a sample prayer on the left side, a little
further down) all around the world!- read and pray the Bible
- read and pray the readings for daily Mass,
cf. Daily Readings box/ right side of http://www.usccb.org
Note: if there a certificate problem with this website,
use the Archdiocesan Mass Schedule link above!- pray the Liturgy of the Hours
- pray the Angelus Prayer, three times a day, in the morning, at noon and in the evening, thus giving your day a spiritual structure, centered around the incarnation of the Word of God, the mystery of our faith - see on the left side of this website...
- pray the Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the Stations of the Cross...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IF THERE IS A DEATH IN A FAMILY THESE DAYS...
This is an especially difficult time for those who have lost a loved one, even now, that restrictions are slowly being lifted. Usually, people visit each other's homes, to pay respects, to express their condolonces, to bring food, to share stories of their shared lives with the deceased, to come togehter for praying the Rosary, the Funeral Mass, for comida afterwards...
At present, we can operate with an up to 25% seating capacity in our churches. But we still have to keep our distance, waer face masks, so as to slow the spread of the coronavirus and to protect each other.
All the more important is that you try to reach out to the families in different ways, by calling them, by praying for them at your home... and in these or other ways assuring them of your thoughts and prayers...
