Strengthen us, O God in this trying time of the pandemic; keep our body healthy and strong to fight the virus and most especially to take care of the sick among us.
Strengthen our hearts, loving Father by cleansing it of our sins, taking away our pride and filling it with your Son Jesus Christ's humility, justice and love that always have a space for those with less in life, to those most in need like the sick, the children and elderly.
Strengthen our hearts, O God, so that as St. Paul had reminded the Thessalonians, we may "be blameless in holiness before you our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1Thess.3:13) by being "faithful and prudent" like the wise servant in the parable today.
Strengthen our hearts in Christ Jesus so we may consistently seek and serve him among one another at every moment of our lives. Amen.
