Good Friday
In the Universal Prayer, Pope Francis has requested that the following prayer be included in the Universal Prayer:
For the Afflicted in time of pandemic:
Let us pray also for those who suffer the consequences of the current pandemic, that God the Father may grant health to the sick, strength to those who care for them, comfort to families and salvation to all the victims who have died.
Prayer in Silence, then the Priest says:
Almighty living God,
Only support of our human weakness,
Look with compassion upon the sorrowful condition of your children
Who suffer because of this pandemic;
Relieve the pain of the sick,
Give strength to those who care for them, welcome into your peace those who have died
And, throughout this time of tribulation,
Grant that we may all find comfort in your merciful love.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
