Unfortunately, my youngest brother has picked up COVID-19.
Please pray, if you may spare a moment, that it will not spread to other members of the family.
God bless you abundantly!

I shall add my prayers to those of others. Hopefully, if he is young and in good health it won't be more than a minor annoyance for him. But the problems with possible transmission to other family members are a nightmare. When I had it I ended up sleeping during the day and washing and cooking at night for several weeks and making sure to throw a load of cleaning stuff around the bath to make sure my father didn't get it. I used paper plates to eat from and threw these away each time I made a meal.

He is a diabetic and none of us except him have any sort of serious illness. Me, my other brothers, and our parents are the only people to whom it could be spread but none of us have tested positive for it. In New Zealand, even COVID-19 positive people do not have to isolate, but my parents have said my brother will stay home until he recovers. Frankly, it is possible that I have already had the virus. I have been sick countless times since the beginning of 2020 and although I have never tested positive, I have not always been tested when sick. Given how many millions of New Zealanders have had it I think it likely we have picked it up at some point without knowing. I'll be going to the Holy Mass this morning as usual.

My 11 year old grandson has type one diabetes. I know that when someone with diabetes gets sick, it can exacerbate that disease and makes getting over any illness more difficult. I'll ask St. Raphael, whose name means God heals, to intercede on your brother's behalf.
Prayer to St. Raphael for healing St. Raphael, of the glorious seven who stand before the throne of Him who lives and reigns, Angel of health, the Lord has filled your hand with balm from heaven to soothe or cure our pains. Heal the brother of khristoskoskres of COVID 19 and help to keep his diabetes under control as his body fights off this infection. Amen.
NOVENA TO SAINT RAPHAEL THE ARCHANGEL (FOR HEALING) Blessed Raphael, archangel and friend, God the Father called you to be a force for healing in the world, touching wounded hearts, bodies, and minds with the might of the Holy Spirit. Dear Raphael, help us to put aside our limited, worldly habit of judging and condemning ourselves and others when we do wrong, and to replace it with Christ’s perspective of healing the wounds we all incur in living as imperfect beings in an imperfect world. In that spirit I ask now that you use your swift and silent wings to bring to God this request: Watch over and heal the family of khristoskoskres especially his youngest brother. Guide them to the people through whom God is waiting to help make them whole and healthy. We pray this in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.

Praying that your brother gets well soon and that the rest of you don't get it.

Thank you everyone. My brother is back at school today, having sufficiently recovered. None of us have got it yet.
