Italian Priest Prayer for Coronavirus – I’ll Stay Home, Lord

2 minutes read

I’ll stay home, Lord!

And today I realize,
You taught me that,
When you remained obedient to the Father,
For thirty years in the house of Nazareth,
Waiting for the big task.

I will stay at home, Lord

And in Joseph’s sawmill,
Your guard and my guard,
I learn to work, obey,
To rotate the corners of my life
And prepare artwork for you.

I’ll stay home, Lord!

And I know I’m not alone
Because Mary, like all mothers,
In the next room, doing housework
And prepare lunch
For all of us, God’s family.

I’ll stay home, Lord!

And I do it responsibly for my own good,
For the health of my city, my loved ones,
For my brother’s sake,
That you put by my side,
She asked me to take care of him
In the garden of life

I’ll stay home, Lord!

In the silence of Nazareth,
I promise to pray, read,
To study, to meditate, to be useful in small chores,
To make our home more beautiful and welcoming.

I’ll stay home, Lord!

And in the morning, thank you
For the new day, you gave me,
I will try not to spoil it
Was greeted with amazement,
As a gift and as an Easter surprise.

And at noon, I will receive
Evangelism,
I will make myself useful to love,
In union with you
Who made your flesh to live among us.
And when I’m tired of the trip,
I’m thirsty, I’ll meet you
In Jacob’s well,
Thirsting for love on the cross.

I’ll stay home, Lord!

And if the sadness of the evening robs me,
I will call you as disciples of Emmaus:
Stay with us, the evening has arrived
And the sun goes down.

And at night,
I unite in prayer with the sick
And lonely people,
I will wait for dawn
To seek your mercy again
And tell everyone,
That you are in storms
You are my refuge.

I’ll stay home, Lord!

I don’t feel lonely, nor that you have abandoned me,
Because you told me:
I am with you every day
Yes, especially these days
Confused, O Lord,
Where, if my presence is not necessary,
I will reach all, through the wings of prayer. Amen 🙏🙏🙏
