POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH
Hail, guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary
To you God entrusted His only Son;
In you Mary placed her trust;
With you Christ became a man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself
a father and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.
PRAYER FOR THE PANDEMIC
Lord God, bless Australia, our Great South Land of the Holy Spirit. Grant, that as the Cross shines in our southern skies, so may Christ bring light and wellbeing to our nation, to its peoples old and new., May we receive protection from all maladies and healing for those who are sick. May those in our country experiencing illness, isolation and suffering be aware of our tangible support through our prayers and actions. We ask this through Christ Our Lord, Amen
