Charity, Humility, and Simplicity
My God, I humbly beg you
to make me an instrument of your love;
give me the grace of performing
all my actions to help my
neighbor with charity, humility and simplicity.
It is my hope Lord,
that fidelity in the practice of these
virtues may obtain the reward
which you have promised
to those who serve you
in the person of the poor.
To Ladies of Charity Members:
With the resurgence of the coronavirus in the South and Western United States, we pray for the first responders, healthcare professionals, elected officials and those who are working tirelessly to serve us during this crisis.
Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana.
Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, wipe away their tears and help them to trust
In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.
We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, and help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Message and Prayers to all LOC Members from Leslie Swanson
LOC Members –
Keep in your prayers, individuals who suffer illness, especially COVID-19, their family members and friends; health care providers and first responders; and all those charged with making difficult decisions. Look after your own health and well-being and that of your family. Err on the side of caution.
Today, a modified version of the Stations of the Cross comes from Bob and Lee Kendell.

Wishing you all God’s blessing at this time: faith and hope, peace and good health.
Message from Leslie Swanson, Ladies of Charity President
In these unsettling times, when there are so many concerns about the Coronavirus or COVID-19, we turn to prayer. The Board of Ladies of Charity is committed to sharing our prayers with you for the foreseeable future. Today’s prayer was provided by Nancy Lentini.
Events of the last week or two have refreshed my perspective on so many things. They have reminded me to think again about what is really important in life, what has enduring value, what will matter in the end.
Please share your prayers with me so that I might distribute them to the group.
Wishing you a wealth of God’s Blessings,
Leslie
