Lockdown Thought — Day 28

We mourn the person who died of Covid-19 yesterday — and all those around the world.

To hold in our hearts both the beauty and the pain can transform us and help us discover the courage and hope needed to act on behalf of creation. One step at a time will position us firmly on the journey of restoration, both of Earth and of ourselves. So let's be strong and kind in our bubbles today.

With humour to appreciate the ridiculous, grace us
With fortitude to cope with everyone's projects, grace us
With good sense not to push things too far, grace us
With thoughtfulness to call the person who needs it, grace us
With quiet for a little contemplative pause, grace us 
With empathy with those not coping, grace us
With commitment to level 4 restrictions to the end, grace us
With love communing in our bubble, grace us
Risen Christ.
