He will also crown the statue of Mary and Jesus in the courtyard of the Diocese of Sacramento Pastoral Center.

This prayer service follows the 12 noon re-consecration of our nation under the same title by Archbishop José Gomez, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and archbishop of Los Angeles. The national event will be streamed at lacatholics.org/consecration and facebook.com/usccb.

To be prayed for nine consecutive days

[Novenas are an ancient tradition of prayer in times of great need. The practice traces its origin to when the apostles prayed for nine days between the Ascension of Jesus and the descent of the Holy Spirit.]

O Mary, full of grace, patroness of this nation and Mother of the Church, in this time of worldwide illness we ask your intercession for the human family before your Son’s throne of grace and mercy. We ask for strength in adversity, health in weakness, and comfort in sorrow. We pray for all who have lost jobs or security in this time. May your Son watch over all who are sick and their caretakers, bring heaven all who have died, and give wisdom to all who are seeking a cure to the Coronavirus.

[Mention your own intentions.]

Saint Damien of Molokai, minister to lepers, pray for us.

Help us, O Blessed Mother, to be filled with confidence in the tender compassion of our God. Calm our fears and help us to trust in the Divine Physician. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
