Day Five

Lord, today we pray for an increase in hope. As this pandemic carries on we are tempted to despair. We ask ourselves if this will ever end. St. Rocco also had much reason to despair during his life, as he was kicked out of town for contracting the Bubonic Plague and, later, falsely imprisoned for five years, and yet he knew that You were always with Him. May we remember that You are always with us and place all our hope in you.

St. Rocco, pray for us.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
