Tuesday of the Fifth Week of Lent

Today's Readings


Prayer for a Pandemic

May we who are merely inconvenienced 
remember those whose lives are at stake. 
May we who have no risk factors 
remember those most vulnerable. 
May we who have the luxury of working from home 
remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent. 
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close 
remember those who have no options. 
May we who have to cancel our trips 
remember those that have no place to go. 
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market 
remember those who have no margin at all. 
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home 
remember those who have no home. 
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, 
let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors. 
We ask this through Christ the Healer. Amen.
