Sage God, things once commonplace, then forbidden, are now parts of our days again. We thank you for the tiny gifts of walking without a mask, seeing an old friend, having a guest come over – inside. We thank you for unlimited toilet paper, a smile that’s more than the crinkles of the eyes behind… Read More
Wednesday Prayer
This Lent, O God, our thoughts are muddled. We wander from grief to rage to distraction to hope, our thoughts moving as fast as our fingers move from app to app. Dare we hope that a brighter future is coming? Dare we believe that we will be able to live through our layers of grief? … Read More
Tuesday Prayer
God who abides in the six-foot gaps between us- As we emerge more and more into our communities, may we articulate our boundaries. If our neighbors are physically too close, may we speak our concerns aloud. May we have the courage to ask our neighbors to wear their masks in our vicinity. May we be… Read More
Tuesday Prayer
My heart is weighing me down today, God. Is it from my extreme anxiety over this virus and opening up buildings and programs again? Is it from the need to face our own mortality and not knowing how this disease will affect my body if I catch it? Is it from the 90,000 deaths in… Read More

Wednesday Prayer
O Lord, you know all things, so you know that Wednesday is Hump Day, when we come closer to the end than the beginning. And yet, we feel no closer to the end of the deaths, to the end of sickness, fear and isolation, to a return to health for those who are ill, a… Read More
Thursday Prayer: Maundy Thursday in the time of covid19
There is no altar to strip, no fair linen to fold: yet so much of what is familiar has been stripped away in these days of shelter in place, of quarantine, of lockdown. We cannot wash one another’s feet, remembering Christ’s act of humble service: but we will wash our hands in love for… Read More
