Father Matthew Gutowski's* Covid-19 Prayer

Lord Jesus, our Divine Physician, we place in the protection of your Sacred Heart all physicians, nurses, and health care professionals, as well as all priests, deacons, and chaplains who minister to the sick, asking you to strengthen them during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. By the power of your Precious Blood, may they all be shielded from contracting the virus and, if they do, from experiencing any serious symptoms or death. As they care for patients on the frontline of the medical community’s battle with this virus, we ask that they will know the grace and power of your presence invigorating them with your zeal and courage when they grow weary or fearful. May all the sick whom they serve receive your healing and know your loving care through their selfless dedication to them. May they have all the medical resources that they need to keep them safe and to bring healing to their patients. In particular, we pray this for all the members of the Catholic Medical Association and we especially offer this through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and St. Joseph. Amen.

*Penned by Father Gutowski, the former chaplain for the CMA, now battling Covid himself.

In April of 2020, Father Gutowski composed this beautiful prayer for all dealing with COVID-19, whether they be health care professionals or patients. We encourage you to revisit this prayer as we ask God to heal Father Gutowski and all those suffering in this ongoing health crisis.

The Guild encourages all healthcare workers to pray a daily Memorare for the work of the Guild and its members. See prayer to the right.

God, who created man in Your image and intended him to share Your Glory, we thank You for having granted to Your Church the gift of Professor Jerome Lejeune, a distinguished Servant of Life.

He knew how to place his immense intelligence and deep faith at the service of the defense of human life, especially unborn life, always seeking to treat and to cure. A passionate witness to truth and charity, he knew how to reconcile faith and reason in the sight of todays's world.

By his intercession, and according to Your will, we ask You to grant us the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon become one of Your saints.

MEMORARE

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate! despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.
