We continue to pray for the people of India overwhelmed by the new outbreak of the Covid virus. Let us pray for comfort to bereaved families and for quick recovery to those who are battling the virus; for healthcare workers and first responders; for the leadership to make wise decisions in the midst of this crisis.
We continue to pray for Myanmar: for the safety of those protesting the military coup; for the newly elected “National Unity Government,” and that all international communities would recognize it; for justice and peace to be restored in the country.
We continue to pray for those affected by the pandemic and for the smooth and speedy administration of the vaccines. May we remain vigilant and wear masks. Let us continue to sow seeds of hope and joy through small acts of kindness and love!
