Bridges - June 2020

We pray for those who have lost lives, loved ones, and livelihood in the coronavirus pandemic.  We give thanks for the healthcare workers.  We pray God’s healing hand upon the sick, protection from infection for all, especially the poor, the elderly and the vulnerable, and an end to this pandemic very soon.  We offer solidarity to all who feel alone, isolated and afraid.

May we all grow closer to each other and to God.
