英語全文

以下是英文禱詞:

O God,

We gather together separated by life-saving distancing,

but united more than ever in spirit;

We know we are in a war against COVID – 19 together,

and the more together we are, the better and stronger we will emerge:

We know the challenges are enormous, yet so are the opportunities;

That whether we are in isolation with loved ones, or alone,

we will have abundance of time;

We commit to using that time to the max,

to help those in greater need in whatever way we can;

We know we all have the opportunity, and time,

to be life savers and life enhancers;

We give thanks for those who are on the front line

taking care of those who are not well;

We give thanks for the researchers

who are working at breakneck speed to find cure and vaccine;

We give thanks for our leaders, federal,

provincial and local, for their dedication to all of us;

We give thanks for the providers of our daily needs

who go to work in spite of the risk;

We give thanks for those who have ramped up their ability

to produce life-saving supplies.

We pray for the well-being of all our life savers;

For those who are not well, that they recover fully;

For those enduring difficulty, that they may overcome their challenges.

We pray that a cure and vaccine will soon be available,

And that we all – family, friends, all Canadians,

the entire world may be healed in body and spirit.

We ask you, O God, to bless our leaders,

our front line care givers, our life savers and life enhancers.

We ask you, O God, to bless Canada, to bless the world, to bless everyone.

Amen.
