May we who are merely inconvenienced remember those whose lives are at stake.

May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable.

May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must
choose between preserving their health and making their rent.

May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
remember those who have no options.

May we who have had to cancel our trips remember those that have no safe
place to go.

May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
remember those who have no margin at all.

May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no
home.

During this time of social distancing, let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace
of God to our neighbors.

Amen.
