Lent: Day 23
Remember that we can unite in prayer // Recuerda que podemos unirnos en oración
When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him.
Matthew 1: 24
Amid worsening conditions related to the global coronavirus outbreak, Pope Francis urged Catholics to unite spiritually to pray the rosary simultaneously on the Feast of St. Joseph. The pope invited every family, every individual Catholic, and every religious community to pray the Luminous mysteries on Thursday, March 19.
Archbishop Jose H. Gomez would be joining the Holy Father in the recitation of the rosary today (Thursday) at 1 p.m. Western time from the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels via live stream at lacatholics.org/rosary and Facebook.
We hope you will join us in prayer.

A Prayer for the Virgin of Guadalupe
Holy Virgin of Guadalupe,
Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas.
We fly to you today as your beloved children.
We ask you to intercede for us with your Son,
as you did at the wedding in Cana.
Pray for us, loving Mother,
and gain for our nation and world,
and for all our families and loved ones,
the protection of your holy angels,
that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
For those already afflicted,
we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.
Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,
wipe away their tears and help them to trust.
In this time of trial and testing,
teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind.
Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.
We come to you with confidence,
knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother,
health of the sick and cause of our joy.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
keep us in the embrace of your arms,
help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
