Eternal God,
calm the fear in our hearts.
Help us to work together to protect
and look after each other.
May your healing spirit be with
those suffering from this disease,
and those caring for them,
all healthcare professionals
and researchers.
Be with those who mourn
the loss of their loved ones.
Be with all of us in our fear and uncertainty.
Save us from panic and distress.
May we continue to be your strong, calm,
loving and compassionate presence
to one another.
This we ask in the name of Jesus,
healer of the sick
and friend of the forgotten ones.
AMEN
