Prayer in the Time of the Coronavirus

Comfort us, O Lord, for we are like your disciples on the storm-tossed seas, unsettled by what lies ahead. We turn to You, our Healer and Guide, to still our hearts in our time of need and hear our prayer. Heal those who are sick with the coronavirus and protect the elderly and most vulnerable. Give strength to all who tend to our health and wisdom to researchers who work toward a cure. Open our eyes and hearts, as you did during Hurricane Harvey, that we may look beyond our immediate needs to care for others who need help. Through the Holy Spirit, guide our leaders to make wise decisions for the welfare of all the people they serve. Grant eternal rest to those who have died from the virus. May Mary, Our Mother, who has heard our pleas in the storms of our lives, intercede to her Son, that we may find healing and a prompt end to this illness.
Mary, Star of the Sea, pray for us. Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, heal us.
Amen.

Statement from the Josephite Society

The Josephites look with horror and disbelief at the killing once more of a black man by the police in Milwaukee this week. This is but another tragic and sad reminder of the legacy of America’s original sin of slavery and its aftermath, the continued violence against people of color.

The words of the Lord directed toward Cain in Genesis 4:10, “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground!” applies here. George Floyd’s blood cries out to America from the sidewalk of Milwaukee. In the midst of the scourge of this horrible pandemic, America has to cease turning just another blind eye to this event. As well as to others, such as the recent killing of a black jogger, Ahmaud Arbery in a south Georgia neighborhood on February 23rd. That continual legacy of the enslavement of people of African descent, with the lynching of the 1900s and the murder of Emmitt Till in Mississippi in 1955, and numerous others like it, which cause pain and suffering and lead to death.

We must not slack in our vigilance to address the neglect of American society toward African Americans, which is glaringly evident during this pandemic in the differences in healthcare, employment, housing, and education.

For over a century, the Society of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart has dedicated itself toward the needs of African Americans, especially to those of the spirit and the soul, deeply wounded by racism and racial prejudice and to shoulder with them in procuring justice and solidarity and will continue to do so until this land lives up its creed that all are created free.
