Dear God,

This pandemic has made us one people.  We are all susceptible.  We are all vulnerable.  We are all threatened.  It may be the first time we have a level playing field.  The rich is no higher or better than the poor.  If the virus wants to infect, it will infect whoever is in its path.

If only we could stay one people when we come through this.  If only we could unite in a way to care for all people, regardless of situation, color, nationality, economic status or gender.  If only we could regard each other as brother and sister, what a better and more beautiful world we would be because we would start caring for everyone not just a few.

Make us one,
O God,
one people,
one human family.
Help us
love another,
help one another
and serve
one another.
Each and all
are your children,
no higher
or lower,
no richer
or poorer,
no beautiful
or ugly,
just one people together.

Love, Andrea
