We begin another week living with the COVID -19 Pandemic, and the move to more indoor living is upon us.  Please take every reasonable precaution to be safe.  Allow these scripture verses to enter the depths of your being and walk with the God who created you and wants you to be the best person you can be.

 

 

Song of Songs 8:7

“Deep waters cannot quench love, nor floods sweep it away.  Were one to offer all he owns to purchase love, he would be roundly mocked.”

 

Responsory

My heart is ever pleading, show me your face.

My heart is ever pleading, show me your face.

I long to gaze upon you, Lord.

Show me your face.  Amen.

 

 

 

Follow the advice of St. Thomas More, "You must not abandon the ship in a storm because you cannot control the winds . . . .  What you cannot turn to good, you must at least make as little bad as you can."

 

May God Be Praised!

 

 COVID 19 Pandemic Prayer

 

Hear my cry!  “Lord, listen to my prayer: turn your ear to my appeal.”  You are my refuge and my hope, I turn to you during this COVID 19 Pandemic and plead for Your intercession.  In Your mercy and Your compassion “… grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners, healing to the sick ….”

[Psalm 143 and Collect from Mass Time in Pandemic]

 

Provide strength to the first responders, compassion to the medical personnel, and wisdom to government leaders.  End this coronavirus scourge.  Send Your light to me as I wander in the darkness of this pandemic and give me hope in Your eternal love today and every day.  Amen.  [Dcn. George Kelly]
