Faithful St. Corona, who willingly received the crown of martyrdom for the Catholic Faith, I ask for thy intercession against disease and pandemics.

Pray for me and my family, for my loved ones, and for every person who is in harm's way of sickness.

Through thy intercession, obtain the protection of our physical health from our Lord's goodness, if it be God's will, and if not, obtain for us the help to remain in sanctifying grace and so to be ready always to meet our Lord face-to-face.

Pause here for the grace you are asking.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

St. Corona, patron against plagues, pray for us!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
