Prayers and Reflections

Prayer for Protection.

God of Love and Mercy
We pray for our world  for all of us,                                                                                                                       each one now in some way impacted by COVID-19:                                                                                                  but especially for those persons who are ill,   those who have lost loved ones   and those whose personal and work lives  have been severely disrupted by the reach of this virus.

We give thanks for the tender care of the sick by doctors, nurses and health care workers, for the generous and willing service of volunteers  and for the imagination and dedication of researchers seeking a cure.

We are grateful for those who share wise advice with us;                                                                                         those whose work creates healthy environments for us;                                                                                            those who put our needs before theirs, our safety before theirs,   our well-being before theirs.

May we each be supportive of one another,                                                                                                                considerate of one another  and generous to one another in this difficult and uncertain time.

-Amen
