  If you are looking for a prayer to recite on the COVID-19 virus, I found this one on the Our Lady of the Rosary website out of San Diego, CA.  Please click HERE to get directed to the prayer.

  And as we all know, after the storm, there will always be a rainbow!  I pray that all of us will be together again after this storm passes.  We do not know what that will look like, but one thing we know is true, the darkness cannot overcome the light.
