Being Catholic…Really by Pam Spano
What are you doing to prevent getting the Coronavirus?
What are you doing to prevent getting the Coronavirus (also known as COVID-19)?
One of the practices of staying healthy is washing your hands. The consensus is that you sing Happy Birthday twice as you do this for the maximum affect of killing germs.
While scrolling through Facebook the other day, I saw the suggestion on several sites that recommended praying the Hail Mary three times while washing your hands for those who are ill with the virus.
I thought it was a lovely idea and since I “Hail Mary” my way through everything, this was perfect.
Stay healthy and pray for others!
Please join me and other Catholics (and some not-so-Catholics!) on my Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram.
I also write for Catholic365.com on occasion, and CatholicMom.com every 4th Thursday of the month so take a moment and check them out.
