From porters, nurses, housekeepers and the ward clerk,<\/p>\n
Helping one another day by day,<\/p>\n
Even through all the uncertain disarray.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now we have come through the pandemic,<\/p>\n
Learned so much from scientists and academics,<\/p>\n
Striving through our professions,<\/p>\n
We have learned so many lessons.<\/p>\n
Lord,<\/p>\n
I ask you to take care of all those who are unwell with Covid-19. Be with them and give them strength to fight the virus. I ask you to watch over every one of them and help them recover with the will only you have.<\/p>\n
I offer my prayer to everyone who has lost someone to Covid-19 on this one year anniversary. Prayers for those left behind that they may find comfort and light to help them through a difficult time. Lord, give prayers to all NHS and care workers looking after those with Covid-19. Be with the country as we hot a big milestone. Be with those who have beaten Covid-19 and survived this terrible virus. I pray that we come out of this pandemic soon.<\/p>\n
Lord, shine your light of hope and peace and a light to help those in dark times struggling with grief.<\/p>\n
Lord, give comfort and your holy spirit and shine a light to let them know you are there. I light a candle each week at mass.<\/p>\n
Amen<\/p>\n
