Oratio Emperata on COVID-19
God our Father,
we come to you in our need
to ask your protection against the COVID 19
that has disturbed and even claimed lives.

We pray that you guide the people


tasked to find cures for this disease and to stem its transmission.
Protect the medical experts that they may minister to the sick
with competence and compassion.
Oratio Emperata on COVID-19
We pray for those afflicted.
May they be restored to health soon.
Protect those who care for them.
Grant eternal rest to those who have died.

Give us the grace in this trying time


to work for the good of all and to help those in need.
We implore you to stop the spread of this virus
and to save us from our fears.
Oratio Emperata on COVID-19
Grant all these through our Lord Jesus Christ your
Son
who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the
Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Oratio Emperata on COVID-19
We fly to Your protection, oh Holy Mother of
God.
Do not despise our petition in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
Oh glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
Oratio Emperata on COVID-19

Our Lady, health of the sick, pray for us.


St. Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.

Early Life of Christ
Gospel
• The Gospel which the Church declares as divinely inspired are the
four authentic accounts of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
• The Gospel writer is also known as the evangelist.
• The four evangelists are Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.
• The first 3 Gospels are called Synoptic, meaning “to see with the same
eye.” They offer, in general, the same accounts of Jesus’s life and
teachings.

Three Stages of Formation of Gospel
• First stage: the life and teachings of Jesus.
• Second stage: oral tradition
• Third stage: the written Gospel
Summary
• There is one good news but four accounts. The Gospel accounts have
written by four evangelists in different styles and historical context but
for only one purpose: “that we may believe and by believing, we may
have eternal life.” They meant to help us follow Christ.
• The Gospel accounts are writings of human beings inspired by the
Holy Spirit; thus, they are to be acknowledged as teaching the truth
without error.
• The Scriptures from the Book of the People of God because they have
been written from the people of God, for the people of God, and about
the God-experience of the people of God.
The Incarnation of Christ
• The incarnation, God’s becoming human in Jesus Christ, is God
supreme act of love for us.
• Jesus’s life and relationship shows us that He is truly God who became
one with us.
• Jesus has taught us what it means to be truly human through his
goodness, forgiveness, and compassion.
