O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation,
hear the prayers of your Church
for our sick brothers and sisters
and deliver us from this time of trial. 
Open our ears and our hearts
to the voice of your Son:
Be not afraid, for I am with you always. 
Bless all doctors and nurses,
researchers and public servants;
give us the wisdom to do what is right
and the faith to endure this hour,
that we might gather once again
to praise your name in the heart of your Church, delivered from all distress
and confident in your mercy. 
Through Christ our Lord. Amen
