Heavenly Father...
Thank you for the many people who are stepping up
to support the vulnerable & those who need it most.
Please help each one of us to love each other well at this time;
Help us to find new & creative ways to reach out
& show your love to the people around us.
As we continue to maintain our physical distance,
may we not withhold our love and compassion for others,
we pray.

Only as the disillusionment phase loses its force can realistic, hopeful re-making take place." - -
