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.

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.
