The Coronavirus Novena

While we continue to face the Coronavirus pandemic, let us turn to the face of God in prayer and ask for His healing, His help and His protection. Let us seek the face of God as children of God. Fathers Deo and Augustine continue with celebration of Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as your Priests and Spiritual guides.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
