Catholic bishops compose special prayer against coronavirus

Yes, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has composed a special prayer against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The prayer was released on March 12, 2020, and is intended to be recited by Catholics around the world as a way to seek God's protection and healing during this time of crisis.

Here is the prayer:

"O God, almighty and merciful Father, We come before you today to pray for the protection of your people from the spread of the coronavirus.

We ask that you grant us the wisdom and courage to face this challenge with faith and hope in your goodness.

Protect us from the spread of this virus, and heal those who are afflicted with it.

Grant us the strength to care for the sick, and the wisdom to find effective ways to combat this pandemic.

May your mercy be upon us, and may your peace be our guide.

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints, we pray to you, O Lord.

May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen."

The CBCP has also encouraged Catholics to recite the prayer daily, especially during Mass, and to offer it as a way to seek God's protection and healing for themselves, their families, and their communities.

It's worth noting that the Catholic Church has a long tradition of praying for the sick and those affected by disease, and the prayer against the coronavirus is part of this tradition. The Church teaches that prayer can be a powerful means of seeking God's healing and protection, and that it can bring comfort and solace to those who are suffering.
