A Prayer for the Wuhan Coronavirus Victims

Shrine with Santa Rosalia, San Rocco
and the Infant of Prague
In light of the ongoing Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, I decided to scrap the post I originally had scheduled for our upcoming 11th Year Anniversary and instead, simply offer my prayers and condolences to the victims and all those who are suffering through these difficult times. May San Rocco, Santa Rosalia and Our Blessed Mother watch over you.

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
have mercy on us
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
pray for us
San Rocco, pray for us
Santa Rosalia, pray for us
San Pantaleone, pray for us
San Gregorio Magno, pray for us

San Carlo Borromeo, pray for us
San Giuseppe Moscati, pray for us
San Cristoforo, pray for us
San Valentino, pray for us

Prayer to San Rocco

O Great St. Rocco, deliver us, we beseech thee, from the scourges of God; through thy intercession, preserve our bodies from contagious diseases, and our souls from the contagion of sin. Obtain for us salubrious air; but, above all, purity of heart. Assist us to make good use of health, to bear suffering with patience; and, after thy example, to live in the practice of penance and charity, that we may one day enjoy the happiness which thou has merited by thy virtues. St. Rocco, pray for us (say three times)
