Praying with Your Kids
Megan Sorg, Director of Young Adult Ministries

Feeling cooped up with your family? Finding it hard to pray and practice your faith together in this challenging time? It’s easy to think about the ways we can’t pray or the ways things are and will continue to be different. In the crazy chaos of our Sorg family life - which is visible in the video - we have learned that this is a great time to focus on the ways we CAN pray.

Being quarantined highlights that our most important faith community is our family! And there are so many small ways we can grow in our faith as a family during this time. Practice how to make the sign of the cross with your young kids. Learn about saints. BECOME saints. There is no better time to pray together and grow in your faith as a family than right now!

COVID PRAYER

The following prayer will replace the parish stewardship prayer at Mass until further notice.

Mother of Divine Love, we entrust to you our nation and world, our families and loved ones, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.

In this time of trial and testing, hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful.

For those already afflicted, obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.

For those working to help the sick and bring an end to this crisis, obtain the strength to continue their work.

Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, conform us to the will of the Father, remind us always of the love of your Son, Jesus, and bring his peace to our land and to our hearts.

Amen.
