remember
those whose lives are at stake.
May
we who have no risk factors
remember
those most vulnerable.
May
we who have the luxury to work 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 neighbours.
