PLEASE PRAY for our world that we will do what we can do to stop the spread of disease and to safeguard the natural world. Help us to appreciate what we have, including those opportunities to grow closer to God in the face of adversity. We pray for patience for those who are waiting and comfort for those dealing with loss.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Matthew 6: 25-34 – Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all we need is given. Alleluia.
