23 new cases of COVID-19 in our county in NM today.
“It affects virtually nobody,” says he.
So Mr. and Ms. Nobody are at least in quarantine today.
Over 200,000 “nobodies” have died in our country, people of all ages.
Eternal God,
Do not let us forget
Those who have died of this disease
Those who have recovered but feel the lingering effects every day
Those who have risked their lives to bring comfort
To effect healing when possible,
To support the loved ones of these people
Now facing the challenge of empty spaces in their families.
We see.
We listen.
We stand up
To help
To give
To heal.
For those who see the steep numbers of the people who have died of COVID-19 as a “success,”
May compassion spring forth inside of them when they least expect it
So that they will realize
That they haven’t cared enough
But that they still have a chance
To change their perspective
And to unselfishly see people in terms of people.
IT IS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
