Inbox Inspiration: May 22, 2020: Special - 19 Prayer to the Trinity

Special – 19
 Prayer to the Trinity 

God, our Father,
we look to you in this time of illness, uncertainty, and distancing.
We place our anxiety and fear in your hands.
Free us from the fear of scarcity, which can lead to hoarding.
Transform our anxiety into energy for caring for one another.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, our Brother,
bring your healing touch to those who are sick.
Be with those who are grieving the loss of a loved one.
Raise up those who have died from this coronavirus.
Remind us throughout each day that you are here with us.

Holy Spirit of the Father and the Son,
send forth your light to those in the medical and scientific community.
Guide them to find drugs of treatment and a vaccine to prevent infection.
Grant your wisdom to our leaders to seek the common good of all.
Move them to care especially for those most vulnerable among us.

We lift up our minds and hearts to you, Dear God, and we pray:
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

Father Michael Schleupner

In addition to the usual Wednesday edition, I began these Special Inbox Inspirations on Fridays and Sundays when the Covid-19 Crisis began. On Fridays, there is a prayer related to the crisis and on Sundays, a reflection on the Sunday gospel. I hope these are helpful.
