7th April

LORD JESUS,

May we who are 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 and paying the rent.
May we who have to cancel our trips remember those who have no place to go.
May we who have savings to cushion us remember those whose account is empty.
May those who settle into quarantine at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other find a way to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbour.
Through Jesus Christ our saviour, whose arms of love embrace us all,

AMEN
