Pope Francis Prayer

“We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God”.
In the present tragic situation, when the whole world is prey to suffering and anxiety, we fly to you, Mother of God and our Mother, and seek refuge under your protection.
Virgin Mary, turn your merciful eyes towards us amid this coronavirus pandemic. Comfort those who are distraught and mourn their loved ones who have died, and at times are buried in a way that grieves them deeply. Be close to those who are concerned for their loved ones who are sick and who, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, cannot be close to them. Fill with hope those who are troubled by the uncertainty of the future and the consequences for the economy and employment.
Mother of God and our Mother, pray for us to God, the Father of mercies, that this great suffering may end and that hope and peace may dawn anew. Plead with your divine Son, as you did at Cana, so that the families of the sick and the victims be comforted, and their hearts be opened to confidence and trust.
Protect those doctors, nurses, health workers and volunteers who are on the frontline of this emergency, and are risking their lives to save others. Support their heroic effort and grant them strength, generosity and continued health.
Be close to those who assist the sick night and day, and to priests who, in their pastoral concern and fidelity to the Gospel, are trying to help and support everyone.
Blessed Virgin, illumine the minds of men and women engaged in scientific research, that they may find effective solutions to overcome this virus.
Support national leaders, that with wisdom, solicitude and generosity they may come to the aid of those lacking the basic necessities of life and may devise social and economic solutions inspired by farsightedness and solidarity.
Mary Most Holy, stir our consciences, so that the enormous funds invested in developing and stockpiling arms will instead be spent on promoting effective research on how to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
Beloved Mother, help us realize that we are all members of one great family and to recognize the bond that unites us, so that, in a spirit of fraternity and solidarity, we can help to alleviate countless situations of poverty and need. Make us strong in faith, persevering in service, constant in prayer.
Mary, Consolation of the afflicted, embrace all your children in distress and pray that God will stretch out his all-powerful hand and free us from this terrible pandemic, so that life can serenely resume its normal course.
To you, who shine on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope, do we entrust ourselves, O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.

A Prayer for Protection in Time of Pandemic
“O Mary, you always brighten 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
while remaining steadfast in faith.
O loving Mother, you know what we need,
and we are confident you will provide for us
as at Cana in Galilee.
Intercede for us with your Son Jesus,
the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill,
for those who are vulnerable,
and for those who have died.
Intercede also for those charged with
protecting the health and safety of others
and for those who are tending to the sick
and seeking a cure.
Help us, O Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who took upon himself our
sufferings and carried our sorrows,
so to lead us, through the Cross,
to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen.
Under they protection we seek refuge,
O Holy Mother of God.
In our needs, despise not our petitions,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.”

Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

O Most Holy Virgin, Mother of God and my Mother Mary, I thank you that you
have deigned to appear on Monte Berico and I thank you for all the graces you
grant here to those who turn to you. Nobody ever prayed to you in vain. I, too,
resort to you and beg you for the Passion and Death of Jesus and for your
pains; welcome me, o’ merciful Mother, under your mantle, which is a
maternal mantle; grant me the particular grace that I ask of you (your
petition here) and protect me from all evil and especially from sin which is
the greatest evil.

Oh make, oh Mary, my Mother, that I always enjoy your loving protection in
life and even more in death and then come to see you in heaven and to thank
and bless you forever. Amen.

Madonna of Monte Berico, pray for us.
O sweet Virgin, pious mother of love,
Like this Ave rising from the heart.
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
Ave, ave, ave, Maria
O Virgin, shine as a star in the sky,
Motherly defend your faithful children.
Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

with profound veneration for Your boundless Mercy,
deign, if it be Your Holy Will, to grant me, through her intercession,
the grace for which I fervently pray…………………
My sins render me unworthy of Your Mercy,
but be mindful of Saint Faustina’s spirit of sacrifice and self-denial,

with childlike confidence,
I present to You through her intercession.
Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory…

Prayer for the Unborn
Almighty God, our Father,
you who have given us life
and intended us to have it forever,
grant us your blessings.
Enlighten our minds to an awareness
and to a renewed conviction
that all human life is sacred
because it is created
in your image and likeness.
Help us to teach by word
and the example of our lives
that life occupies the first place,
that human life is precious
because it is the gift of God
whose love is infinite.
Give us the strength to defend human life
against every influence
or action that threatens or weakens it,
as well as the strength
to make every life more human
in all its aspects.
Give us the grace…
When the sacredness of life
before birth is attacked,
to stand up and proclaim
that no one ever has the authority
to destroy unborn life.
When a child is described as a burden
or is looked upon only as a means
to satisfy an emotional need,
to stand up
and insist that every child is a unique
and unrepeatable gift of God,
a gift of God
with a right to a loving
and united family.
When the institution of marriage
is abandoned to human selfishness
or reduced to a temporary conditional arrangement
that can easily be terminated,
to stand up and affirm
the indissolubility of the marriage bond.
When the value of the family is threatened
because of social and economic pressure,
to stand up and reaffirm
that the family is necessary
not only for the private good of every person,
but also for the common good of every society,
nation and state.
When freedom is used to dominate the weak,
to squander natural resources and energy,
to deny basic necessities to people,
to stand up and affirm
the demands of justice and social love.
Almighty Father,
give us courage to proclaim the supreme dignity
of all human life and to demand
that society itself give its protection.
We ask this in your name,
through the redemptive act
of your Son and in the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Virtual Rosary and Business Meeting
2020-04-06 19:00 - 20:30 | Virtual via Zoom
Brother Knights;

Until further notice we are converting our Knights of Columbus meetings to Virtual Meetings. So you don’t even have to leave the house to participate! We’ll be doing this via a service called Zoom and all you need to participate is a computer with a webcam and a microphone (you can also call in via telephone).

This will begin with our scheduled business meeting on April 6th. We will be doing both a virtual Rosary together at 7 pm and our business meeting at 7:30 pm.

Due to time restrictions with the service we need to set this up as two separate meetings – one for the 7 pm Rosary and another for the Business Meeting. So, below you will find links to each of the two meetings for April 6. You just need to click on the link or copy and paste the URL into your browser to join the meeting. You do not have to download any software or applications.

To join Rosary – https://us04web.zoom.us/j/636474580

To join Businss Meeting – https://us04web.zoom.us/j/333163038

We will go live at 6:50 that evening to assist anyone who needs help with getting their webcam and microphone going to be able to fully participate. Please find a quiet place to join in so any background noise around you is minimal.

ALL will be unmuted during the Rosary. For the business meeting all will be muted unless they are unmuted by me. If you want to comment or input you’ll need to “raise your hand” by typing into the chat box that you wish to speak. I will then unmute you for your input.

If you have any questions please ask. We’ll be doing this for the forseeable future so we can keep things rolling until we’re allowed to meet in person again. If you have any items you want on the April agenda please let me know.

Thank you for your understanding. I hope you’ll be able to join us virtually on April 6th.

All my best,

Bret Ridgway
