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

ORACION EN TIEMPO DE PANDEMIA

 Oh Dios, cuyo Hijo único cargó con el sufrimiento de toda la humanidad por nuestra salvación, escucha las oraciones de tu Iglesia por nuestros hermanos y hermanas enfermos y auxílianos en esta hora de angustia.

Abre nuestros oídos y nuestros corazones para escuchar la voz de tu Hijo: “No tengan miedo, estoy con ustedes siempre.”

Bendice a todos los doctores y enfermeras, investigadores y servidores públicos; Danos la sabiduría para hacer lo correcto y la fe necesaria para vivir este momento; Que nos volvamos a reunir una vez más para bendecir tu nombre en el corazón de la Iglesia, libres ya de toda ansiedad y confiados en tu misericordia.Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo. Amen.

As individuals, families and parishes, our mission as the Diocese of Worcester is to respond joyfully to Christ’s call to become more fully the People of God. Though imperfect, we are a blessed people striving to participate in Christ’s mission of reaching out to all. Therefore, we accept the Gospel challenge, which calls us to bring another to a deeper knowledge and love of God. Since God calls us to live in community in the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves in this time and place to becoming a prayerful and faith-filled Church that truly reflects the glory of God.
