Here’s a pandemic prayer from the Xavier University website. It
was written by Fr. Michael Graham, S.J. (see link below).
A Prayer for Our Uncertain Times
May we who are merely 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 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 who have no
safe 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.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
And during this time when we may not be able
to physically wrap
our arms around each other,
let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of
God
to our neighbors. Amen.
