Oratio Imperata against Covid-19 in the Year of St.

Joseph
Let us turn to Saint Joseph who brings comfort to the afflicted and
consolation for the sick, to help us in our needs.

We all say ST. JOSEPH, PRAY FOR US.

 Saint Joseph, you saved the savior from death in the hands
of Herod, save the world from the death of COVID-19. We
pray. ST. JOSEPH, PRAY FOR US.

 Saint Joseph, you suffered to see the Child and His mother
born in poverty in a manger, stay with us as we endure our crosses of
hunger, joblessness and sicknes due to COVID-19. We pray. ST. JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.

 Saint Joseph, you heard the prophetic words of Simeon to Mary that her
heart would be pierced by the sword, beg the Lord to bless our efforts to end
the pandemic through the vaccination program and observance of health
protocols.
We pray. ST. JOSEPH, PRAY FOR US.

 Saint Joseph, you suffered protecting the child and His mother in exile in
Egypt, protect and shield from harm those who care for our brethren who are
sick and dying. We pray. ST. JOSEPH, PRAY FOR US.

 Saint Joseph, you were anxious when the Child Jesus was lost for three days
in the temple, turn our COVID-19 fears, anxieties, and depression into hope,
joy and peace. We pray. ST. JOSEPH, PRAY FOR US.

Let us pray

Saint Joseph, come to our aid in these times of anguish and anxiety. Take us
under your care as we place our trust in you now and forever. Amen.
