The following was shared on Easter … it does not matter if you are Christian or Buddhist or Atheist or Martian & so I re-share to serve as a reminder as we begin this week, Shelter @ Home, Week #5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for a Pandemic<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake. <\/p>

May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable. <\/p>

May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent. <\/p>

May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close remember those who have no options. <\/p>

May we who have to cancel our trips remember those that have no safe place to go. <\/p>

May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market remember those who have no margin at all. <\/p>

May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home. <\/p>

As fear grips our country, let us choose love. <\/p>

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 neighbors. <\/p>

Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

-Cameron Bellm, Sisters of Charity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*If you are agnostic or atheist, then “God” as in greater Powers beyond ourselves and any rational, beyond the human comprehension. Powers and mysteries – that pure consciousness – that provides salvation when there’s love and compassion and intuitive wisdom rather than hate, fears and ignorance.<\/em> If that makes any senses…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you cannot hug a person … Call a family member or a friend; Beyond the remoteness, Hug a tree; marvel at the beauty of blooming trees all around us. Imagined in a dream or … in real.<\/p>\n\n\n
