An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, 
​come at least spiritually into my heart. 
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. 
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Diocese of Honolulu Prayer for the
​Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic

By Bishop Larry Silva, March 12, 2020
Dear God of all the living, you sent your Son Jesus to heal us from illness and sin. We turn to his healing power in this time of anxiety over the pandemic of this potentially deadly virus.
St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope dedicated their lives to service of those who had an infectious disease. St. Marianne Cope said, “I am not afraid of any disease,” because she was confident of your power to save. At the same time, she took prudent precautions of hygiene to assure that she and her Sisters would not be infected.
Let us learn from this example to put our trust in you to save us from the ravages of disease and to take prudent measures to prevent its spread. Guide us to know when to isolate ourselves from the possibility of infection, but never let anyone be left without the care and concern of others in the community.
As our Diocese of Honolulu has been dedicated to the Divine Mercy, we pray with confidence, “Jesus, I trust in you.”

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. 
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, 
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
​by the divine power of God,
cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, 
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Act of Contrition

This Apostolic Penitentiary-issued decree on the Sacrament of Reconciliation grants plenary indulgences to “the faithful suffering from the Covid-19 virus... as well as to healthcare workers, family members and all those who in any capacity, including through prayer, care for them."
“Where the individual faithful find themselves in the painful impossibility of receiving sacramental absolution, it should be remembered that perfect contrition, coming from the love of God, beloved above all things, expressed by a sincere request for forgiveness (that which the penitent is at present able to express) and accompanied by votum confessionis, that is, by the firm resolution to have recourse, as soon as possible, to sacramental confession, obtains forgiveness of sins, even mortal ones.” The following Act of Contrition, sincerely prayed, might be used:
Father of mercy, like the prodigal son, I return to you and say: 
“I have sinned against you and am no longer worthy to be called your child.” 
Jesus Christ, Savior of the world,
I pray with the repentant thief to whom you promised Paradise:
“Lord, remember me in your kingdom.” 
Holy Spirit, fountain of love, I call on you with trust: 
“Purify my heart, and help me to walk as a child of light.”
