Prayer

God of infinite love and compassion…..
As we navigate the turbulence and uncertainty of the pandemic, hold us close.
When the light of hope at the end of the tunnel flickers and grows dim, give us the courage to meet the constant challenges.
Give strength and patience to our brothers and sisters in Shepparton as they face yet another hurdle. Walk with them in this difficult time and give them peace in their anxiety. When we cannot physically be with each other, let us find ways to be your loving presence to them.
We entrust to you the families and communities affected by Coronavirus, wherever they may be. Be close to those who are ill, afraid or in isolation and console those who are alone in our communities across the Diocese.
Bless the medical staff who care for those affected with Covid and strengthen them with your Spirit.
We offer our prayer to you, Lord, in faith and trust.
Amen
