There are a number of anti-plague devotions, the
most notable of which is saying for three days one or all the Christmas Masses
from the Missal. But these following prayers are intended for individuals.
Toulon
“Jesus of Nazareth, look upon the tribulations
that have surrounded us on every side, and I beg you with all my heart,
contrite and humble and in the spirit of humility, to hear me about this
tribulation for which I invoke you and call out to you, Alpha and Omega, Jesus
Christ, blessed father of all believers and all creatures, that just as you
took on true flesh from blessed Mary, so truly we might receive what we seek
from you. Amen”.
Saint-Antonin-Nobel-Val
Lord God, Jesus Christ, merciful redeemer, have
mercy on me, a sinner. Lord, you hold me in this tribulation, but you have
said, 'I do not want the death of the sinner, but that he convert and live and
confess and make amends for all his sins.’ I beg you for mercy, Lord; by the
love you have for the Virgin Mary, your blessed mother, and by the merits of
the blessed martyrs, Saint Sebastian and all the other martyrs and the virgin
Saint Anastasia, save me from this epidemic. Amen."
Tarragona
O Lord Jesus Christ, powerful redeemer, merciful,
hear me, a sinner who am intent on this tribulation. O Lord, you said, 'I do
not want the death of the sinner, but that he live and confess his sins, and
make amends for them,' I call for your mercy, Lord. By the love that you have
for the blessed Saint Mary, your mother, and by the merits of the blessed
martyrs Saint Sebastian and Saint Anastasia, please deliver me from this
plague, which is sudden death, and from this tempest of buboes, tumors, and
corruption of blood, so that when you wish to take me from this world, you take
me with pleasure and joy to reign with your holy company among the angelic
choirs before your divine majesty. Amen."
