Father of Mercy,

You willed that all people should have life and have it abundantly.

You call us to care for one another, putting the needs of our neighbor on a par with our own.

Bless these OUR masks, which we wear during this time of pandemic.

May they protect us, and all those we encounter, from the threat of Covid-19.

May those who wear them never bring harm upon anyone, knowingly or unknowingly,

by spreading this terrible disease.

Holy Spirit, grant us a peaceful heart.

Teach us patience.

Help us turn to you in prayer when we are irritable or afraid, or when the journey seems too long for us. May all our efforts to guard and protect one another in charity become a shining witness to the love of Jesus Christ, for he is Lord forever and ever.

Amen.
