Jesus, light of the world
you promised to be always with us.
Be with our sisters and brothers now,
dispelling the darkness of this crisis.
Compel us to be with them too
in thought, prayer and solidarity,
responding to their suffering
with the same compassion you have shown us.
We make this prayer in the firm faith
that your light shines in the darkness
and the darkness cannot overcome it.
Amen.
