WE INTERRUPT THIS SCHEDULED BLOG POST TO BRING YOU THIS NEWS
In light of the fact that his country now has its first confirmed caronavirus case, Bishop Gerard County has agreed that it would be wise to cancel the planned diocesan-wide gathering for my workshop - at least for the time being.
I WON'T BE GOING AFTER ALL!
I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!
BETTER TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY!
DISREGARD THE FOLLOWING OUTDATED INFORMATION!
YOUR PRAYERS, ESPECIALLY THIS TIME, PLEASE!
I feel a need to face my fear, to be careful and cautious and to go ahead. They are expecting me. They have been planning this for a long time. There is simply too much to lose at this point for both of us if I were to back out now.
Sometimes there are things more important than personal convenience and safety. After all, a promise is a promise and a commitment is a commitment. Besides, one of the main topics of the workshop is the necessity of "following through." To be credible, one must practice what one preaches!
A CARONAVIRUS PRAYER
Jesus Christ, you traveled through
towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the
sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of
the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the
virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.
Heal us from our fear, which
prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
Heal us from our pride, which can
make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.
Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by
our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.
Be with those who have died from the
virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.
Be with the families of those who
are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and
despair. May they know your peace.
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers
and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who
put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.
Be with the leaders of all nations.
Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being
of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in
long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May
they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.
Whether we are home or abroad,
surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus
Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of
our anxiety, give us your peace.
Jesus Christ, heal us.
