+JMJ+ Welcome to tonight’s Live Twitter Rosary Thread where we will be praying for all those affected by the #Coronavirus: friends, family, co-workers, people we know & don’t know all over the world. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

The next tweet will be an antiphon or Scripture verse to help us prepare to pray. Then I’ll post some general intentions. Feel free to add your own. At 7pm I’ll begin posting the Rosary itself in this thread.

Take a few minutes to prepare to pray the Holy Rosary. Put away the news of the day. Speak to the Lord from your heart. Listen with the ear of your heart, too.

"Lord, lay your healing hand upon me, for I have sinned." — Antiphon 1, Vespers

We pray for protection and healing all those affected by the Coronavirus. In this time of need may we draw closer to the Lord. May we unite our sufferings to His Redemptive Suffering. Even in our isolation & quarantine may we remain united to Him & so to each other.

Intentions continued. Praying for all in the hardest hit areas, especially for those with no family, those afraid, those who have lost jobs, income, insurance, those who need help but do not ask. Lord, it’s so easy to become overwhelmed. Help us when we forget to trust You.
