ORATIO IMPERATA

(oración sobre la amenaza de COVID-19) Dios nuestro Padre, venimos a ti en nuestra necesidad de pedir tu protección contra el virus COVID-19, que ha cobrado vidas y ha afectado a muchos. Oramos por tu gracia. Por las personas encargadas de estudiar la naturaleza y la causa de este virus y su enfermedad, y de detener la manera de su transmisión. Guía las manos y las mentes de los expertos médicos para que puedan ayudar a los en- fermos con competencia y compasión, y por los gobiernos y agencias privadas que deben encontrar la cura y la solución a esta epidemia.

Oramos por los afligidos para que puedan recuperar la salud pronto. Concédenos la gracia de trabajar por el bien de todos y ayudar a los necesitados. Concé- delo a través de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

We, the family of Our Lady of the Valley parish in Pahrump, Nevada, a growing town rich in our traditions, recognize that our mission is to give glory and praise to God as a community united in faith. Mary is our patroness, our inspiration to be faithful to Jesus Christ in the Eucharist which is the center of the life of the church, the source of our energies and the summit of our celebration.

We are a community gifted with many talents and are called to share these gifts to their greatest potential in the service and work of God. We proclaim the “Good News” of Jesus Christ with other Christians through words, actions and service to others; and by being loving, compassionate and forgiving people; seeking to help others in need, especially the sick, the poor and the elderly.
