A Prayer to Combat the Coronavirus Pandemic
Most merciful and Triune God, we come to you in our weakness.
We come to you in our fear. We come to you with trust. For you alone are our hope.
We place before you the disease present in our world. We turn to you in our time of need.
Bring wisdom to doctors. Give understanding to scientists.
Endow caregivers with compassion and generosity. Bring healing to those who are ill.
Protect those who are most at risk. Give comfort to those who have lost a loved one.
Welcome those who have died into your eternal home.
Stabilize our communities. Unite us in our compassion.
Remove all fear from our hearts. Fill us with confidence in your care.
Jesus, I trust in you.
Jesus, I trust in you.
Jesus, I trust in you.
Amen.

In his last words to the apostles, Jesus gave them a mission:
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Mt 28:19-20)
Thus, the teaching mission of the Church comes from Christ himself. The responsibility for fulfilling that mandate passes on unchanged to the bishops and to all Catholics.
Within each Catholic diocese, the diocesan bishop is its principal teacher. He is assisted by clergy, religious, and lay men and women who serve as educators and catechists in Catholic institutions, including elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, seminaries and parishes.
Catechesis is the act of handing on the Word of God intended to inform the faith community and candidates for initiation into the Church about the teachings of Christ transmitted by the Apostles. It also involves the lifelong effort of forming people into witnesses to Christ and opening their hearts to the spiritual transformation given by the Holy Spirit.
The teaching authority of the Catholic Church, called the Magisterium, lies with all of the bishops who are led by the pope and guided by the Holy Spirit. The pope and bishops are the authoritative teachers in the Church. In this section of our Web site, you can find information about many forms of Catholic teaching.
