Salutes, Prayers & Condolences

I knew James David Parker as “Dave” when he lived in Solon Ohio. We met when I moved into town from out of state. He and his group of friends were a year or two older than me. Dave was a bright beacon of hope and joy to me. I was an unsure young man in a strange place. Dave introduced me to many people and ensured his friends always saved me a seat in the lunchroom. I have fond memories of him and his friends during that time. I doubt so many people would have been as wonderful toward me without Dave’s incredible kindness.

I’ve never forgotten his kindness. I hope to be able to pay it forward someday.

rest in peace

Thank you for putting your lives on the line to keep this country moving during this crisis. That includes healthcare workers and first responders along with many heroes that did not expect to find themselves on the front lines fighting a killer.

A Prayer for Frontline Workers during this time of the Coronavirus COVID-19
Loving God,

we place into your care

all our doctors, nurses and frontline workers.

Give them courage of heart

and strength of mind and body.

Keep them safe from harm.

May they know our deep gratitude

for all they are doing

to heal and help those affected by

the coronavirus.

God of all consolation

may they know your protection and peace.

Bless them in these challenging days and bless their families.

Amen.

Pray for medical professionals, caregivers, and researchers responsible for fighting the new coronavirus.
God, as more people get sick, healthcare workers and first responders are working longer hours with fewer supplies and with more risk of contracting the new coronavirus themselves. Renew their energy and sustain them on long shifts. Bring Your protection upon them as they work with patients. Multiply their supplies so they have the protective items needed to stay safe on the job.

Inspire and invigorate the research doctors developing better tests to diagnose the virus, create vaccines to prevent it, and identify protocols to eliminate the disease’s spread.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
—Psalm 23:4 (NIV)

Pope’s Prayer for Protection from Coronavirus
An English-language translation of the Pope’s prayer is below:

O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.

At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.

We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:

He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.

We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

For frontline health care workers, we thank you for their vocational call to serve us. We also pray:

God, keep them safe and healthy. Keep their families safe and healthy.
God, help them to be knowledgeable about the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, as well as the changing protocols.
God, help them to stay clear-minded in the midst of the surrounding panic.
God, deliver them from anxiety for their own loved ones (aging parents, children, spouses, roommates).
God, give them compassion for every patient in their care.
God, provide for them financially, especially if they fall ill and are unable to work.
God, help Christians in health care to exhibit extraordinary peace, so that many would ask about the reason for their hope. Give them opportunities to proclaim the gospel.
God, we trust that you are good and do good. Teach us to be your faithful people in this time of global crisis. Help us to follow in the footsteps of our faithful shepherd, Jesus, who laid down his life for the sake of love. Glorify his name as you equip us with everything needed for doing your will. Amen.

A Prayer for Healthcare Workers during this time of the Coronavirus COVID-19

Loving God,
we place into your care
all our doctors, nurses and healthcare workers.
Give them courage of heart
and strength of mind and body.
Keep them safe from harm.
May they know our deep gratitude
for all they are doing
to heal and help those affected by
the coronavirus.

God of all consolation
may they know your protection and peace.
Bless them in these challenging days
and bless their families.
Amen.

O merciful Father, who have wonderfully fashioned man in your own image, and have made his body to be a temple of the Holy Spirit, sanctify, we pray you, our doctors and nurses and all those whom you have called to study and practice the arts of healing the sick and the prevention of disease and pain. Strengthen them in body and soul, and bless their work, that they may give comfort to those for whose salvation your Son became Man, lived on this earth, healed the sick, and suffered and died on the Cross. Amen.

Please pray with first-responders around the world who are tasked with triaging, testing, and treating increasing numbers of people. I ask God to give them patience, wisdom and a gentle spirit as they work to navigate fears and offer effective treatment as hospitals are seeing unprecedented numbers of patients with what must be the devils virus covid-19.

God bless you!

Thank you for trying to warn everyone! You are a blessed Angel now!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Gabrin’s family and friends, and also with all our front-line caregivers who are dedicated to serving our community during this unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak

Bless you all

Thank you for your selfless act of caring for others. You will be missed here and rewarded in Heaven!

May the grace of God, and love of Jesus live on with you and your love-ones forever

We pray that your Spirit might inspire those researching new medicines and treatments. And in the midst of this, keep us strong in faith, hope and love. Grant us the courage and perseverance to be good neighbours. May the words of your Son Jesus Christ in the Our Father, be our prayer as we entrust ourselves and all of us who are affected to your infinite power and love.

Amen

You are a hero!

“The Hero Who Told The Truth”

Martyr of truth

“She tried to do her job, and it killed her,” said her father. I can not even begin to express my sorrow. I am so grateful she committed so many selfless acts of saving lives. The stress to be on the front lines of seeing so many die, and living with the risk of death yourself every minute saving lives. You are a hero! We will do better to make the front lines safer!! Thank you! Most of all I am sorry it was so bad!

Blessings
John

Thank you

I pray America can help people on drugs in the future and not sentence them to death like this poor woman and her child that was born in custody while the baby’s mother dies from Covid-19. I agree with the congresswoman statement below. God look after this baby, and find justice for the mother in heaven. Amen

So Sad, “Andrea should never have been in jail in the first place. Period,” the Democratic congresswoman Ayanna Pressley said on Wednesday during a discussion hosted by the Appeal, a criminal justice news site.

“That she was there at all is cruel and negligent,” Pressley said, calling Circle Bear one of many people “trapped inside of prison systems because of systemic inequities and a failed war on drugs”.

Saw the show in the 90’s, amazing entertainers. Rest in Peace! May God be with you and your loved ones

Thank you for giving your own life to save the lives of others. God bless you!

My book ‘LOCKDOWN 2020 Covid-19 in UK’ opens with a tribute to this wonderful professional and human being. May his family find the strength to come to terms with their enormous loss. May they take some comfort from the unimaginable contribution he made to humanity.
May his soul rest in peace.

Miss you build a bear.

Our deepest condolences to the bereaved family.
