Blessed Clelia Merloni,
lover of the Heart of God,
we entrust ourselves to your intercession.
Place before the Most Holy Trinity our confident prayer,
which pours out from our weary and overburdened hearts
in this time of pandemic.
Blessed Clelia Merloni,
you persevered in times of trial.
Help us to trust in the saving presence of God,
who urges us to live with active faith and civic responsibility.
Blessed Clelia Merloni,
you let yourself be gripped by Love’s contagion.
Support the doctors and healthcare workers fighting on the front lines,
relieve the suffering of the sick,
console those who are lonely and destitute
Bolster the charity of so many willing volunteers.
Blessed Clelia Merloni,
pray for us,
so that, filled with the joy of the Gospel,
we may be as a sip of water to all those whom we meet,
parched with thirst as they seek meaning in the desert of this world.
Amen
Don Nicola Galante
