Coping with Covid-19 through the Holy Rosary

The pandemic has brought us into uncertain times. Physical distancing, whilst it has proven to be an important factor in the positive outcome for Australia, especially in Queensland, it is also making it more challenging when, at most, we need the nearness of comfort and assurance from our families and friends.

With this in mind, the Filipino Community has organized a nightly  Holy Rosary Hour, from 8.00 p.m. where we draw inspiration to nurture our faith and offer prayers and intercession to the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, for strength for us and all the front liners; for those who are working to find an effective vaccine against the corona virus; for those who have lost their source of livelihood; for those who have been stricken by COVID19; for those who have died; and for our families and friends, especially the children.

The community prayer is done through Facebook Messenger Face Time, where participants take turns to recite a decade of the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. 

Our physical distance has not deterred us from enjoying each other’s company. It has enhanced our faith and strengthened our friendship through prayers.
