I write to share that this morning I have received the results of my test for the Covid-19 Virus. I am delighted to say that I am currently Negative for the virus. Many of you have sent emails, texts, and cards expressing your thoughts and prayers. We have been overwhelmed by the sense of your presence surrounding us as we awaited these results. Thank you for your Love and Concern!
My Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I write to share that this morning I have received the results of my test for the Covid-19 Virus. I am delighted to say that I am currently Negative for the virus. Many of you have sent emails, texts, and cards expressing your thoughts and prayers. We have been overwhelmed by the sense of your presence surrounding us as we awaited these results. Thank you for your Love and Concern!
While I am able to breathe easier with these results, we are aware that many in our communities are suffering, and still waiting test results. It is incumbent upon all of us to do our part in curtailing the spread of this virus. Please, please, please follow the guidelines provided us by our Healthcare Authorities. Wash your hands; maintain “Compassionate Spacing”; avoid gathering in groups; watch out for your neighbor; offer help where you are able; care for the most vulnerable in our society; and Pray!
Pray for our communities, our nation and the world; pray for those who are suffering or have lost loved ones; pray for our Doctors, Nurses, Technicians, hospital and doctor office staffs; pray for our first responders; and pray for our leaders who are making the decisions to keep all of us safe.
I give thanks to God for each and everyone of you! May God be with us in this time!
From "Saint Patrick’s Breastplate”
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
AMEN.
