through Jesus our Lord.
AMEN.
Prayers for use during the Coronavirus Outbreak:π
Keep us, good Lord,under the shadow of Your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;

knowing that nothing can separate us
from Your love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen
Lord Jesus Christ,
You taught us to love our neighbour,
and to care for those in need

for Your nameβs sake.
Amen.
