I Can Take a Hint

God talked to me today.  Hubby drove down to his mechanic to drop off a flat tire.  When he walked
back to the car, there on the ground right beside his door was a picture of the famous icon, Our Lady, Mother of Perpetual Help.  He figured it was mine.  Who else would a holy card belong to?  He thought it probably fell out of the car.

It is not mine.

On the back is Prayer at the Time of a Pandemic.  I never saw this before.  But I can take a hint.  I will pray this prayer and spread it.

           Prayer at the Time of a Pandemic

Lord Jesus, Who promised to remain with us always,
         When information overwhelms us                                             

                  and fear overtakes us,
          speak to us again those comforting words,
                   "Peace be with you."

Though we cannot be physically close to others,
           give us the ability and courage
                  to love as well as we can,
            since "perfect love casts out all fear."

Direct your caring gaze on doctors and nurses,
           researchers and safety personnel;
       Come to strengthen the sick, the vulnerable,
           and comfort those who are grief-stricken.

       And when the pandemic has passed,
       and this frightening crisis is resolved,
       teach us to know You more certainly
    as our dearest Friend and our only Hope.

You Who life and reign with the Father and the Holy
       Spirit, One God, forever and ever.  Amen.

(offer one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Glory be...)
   Our Lady, Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
