Healthcare Workers
This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London.

We pledge our prayerful support to all who give of themselves daily in the healing ministry of Jesus. (We thank them for their sacrifice and courage for being on the front lines of this pandemic.) As they work to cure, speak to soothe, and touch to heal in the power of the Holy Spirit, may they be renewed in their commitment of service to the healthcare ministry. Lay your gentle hand upon each of them as they touch others with your presence. We pray in your holy name. Amen. - Worship prayer for Healthcare Workers, Catholic Health Association of the US, https://www.chausa.org/publications/health-progress/article/january-feb

Be with those who are quarantined and hospitalized. Keep them company while we cannot. Grant them patience and strength. Be with those whose finances are affected. Help them find resources to take care of themselves and their families. Be with the elderly and vulnerable. Help all to avoid carelessness so they may remain whole. Be
