Billions of people are in lockdown, unable to visit one another, unable to go to work, unable to attend school, unable to meet one another in public places. People around the world are in desperate straights, struggling at home, in care homes and intensive care units, dying of the same cause, separated from their loved ones in their hours of need. At times of existential danger, we instinctively desire to be close to our family and friends, hold their hands and embrace them – but now we are forbidden to do so, for every act of physical contact – every expression of physical loving-kindness and compassion – could bring illness and death.
The Covid-19 pandemic shows us how wrong we were. We are brought face to face with the most basic questions of life. What are we here for? What have we done with our lives? What do we yet wish to do if given the opportunity? Who is truly important on our lives? What is it that we truly cherish? The pandemic leads us to some painful insights: If we know who is truly important to us and what we truly cherish, then why have we spent so little of our lives pursuing these things?
The Coronavirus shows us how terrible it really is to waste our lives, embroiled in endless battles for wealth and status and power. How terrible it really is not to recognize the value in the people around us – not just our family and friends, not just colleagues and fellow citizens, but also complete strangers. How terrible it is not to give our lives meaning – every hour of every day – by honoring the sacredness of life and according all living things the respect, sensitivity and care that they deserve.
What we truly need right now is God’s intervention. Prayers for humanity. 🙏For HEALING, especially for those who are really affected or suffered a great loss amidst global pandemic. For our family and friends who are losing hope. For our frontliners whose battling each day and risking themselves just to help and serve us. And Prayers for you who’s reading this right now. 😊 DON’T LOSE HOPE! WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! AND WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS! ❤️❤️❤️
