THE MIDNIGHT PRAYER
Scriptural Reading: Luke 6:12
There are some battles that must be fought at night because our enemies are never asleep. Apostle Peter reminds us that the devil is prowling around like a lion, looking for someone to devour (1Peter 5:8). The plans and strategies of the enemies can only be known by those who are alert and ready to fight. It takes a believer who is spiritually fortified to wrestle and defeat the devil. The midnight hours represent the darkest hours of our trials. A lot going on in the camp of the enemy at night hence we must be alert. The psalmist says 'as I lie in bed I remember you; all night long, I think of you' (Ps63:6). It was at night that Judas led the soldiers to arrest Jesus. Christ told His apostles to pray on that very night before He was arrested but they could not watch and pray with the Him (Matt26:36-46). The devil can strike at any possible opportunity; for this reason, believers must learn to spend some time in prayers at midnight. If our enemy is awake, we must not be asleep.

PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL AGAINST THE FORCES BEHIND COVID - 19.
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebukes him, we humbly pray, and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
WE PRAY WITH ST JUDE THE PATRON OF DIFFICULT CASES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS
O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases and things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.
Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succour of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly...
(insert your prayer request here, especially the menace of COVID - 19 Pandemic)
...and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
