Prayer

We pray for all healthcare workers, nurses, doctors, allied health professionals, hospital and community-based health workers, care providers in care homes, and others.  We also pray for families caring for the sick, at home and in communities.

We pray for all the sanitation workers and those who work in the community, in                 villages, towns, cities, and in both the public and private sectors, to keep the environment clean and healthy.

We pray for all service providers, such as police, drivers and public transportation workers, shop attendants, hairdressers, all who interact with the public, to serve and ensure the smooth functioning of society.

We pray for teachers and childcare providers who ensure the formation, training, and provision of a safe environment for children and young adults.

We pray for all children, youth, and adults who have struggled through this period, facing physical, spiritual, and mental crises. Uphold them and help our communities to accompany them.

We pray for the provision of protective equipment that help us to protect ourselves from the pandemic. We pray that we can ensure that all have equitable access to the protection needed for the healing of our communities.

We pray for the healing and renewal of creation despite this global pandemic. 

Amen
