a lenten blessing in a pandemic
a lenten blessing in a pandemic
Oh God, so many are suffering beyond what they can bear
God, come quickly with help that is stronger than death
God have mercy
Christ have mercy
Spirit have mercy
o God you see the vulnerable ones
who battle what we dare not imagine
their caregivers
who fight with scarce resources
blessed are we
still in our relative ease
still jars of clay
but yet broken
who give to others
what we yet can give
who pray
boldly,
and love fiercely,
even as we shelter
The God of all comfort draws near in our troubles, and we give this same comfort to others in theirs. 2 Corinthians 1:3
God have mercy
Christ have mercy
Spirit have mercy
Feel it: It is the ground of your being – God’s love for you and through you
2 Corinthians 4:7-8
