A prayer for all those affected by coronavirus
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious,
be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may find comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
Time to Pray presents everything you need for prayer during the day,
with variations according to the day of the week and the season of the
Church’s year. The app is compatible with smartphones and tablets.
You can use it on its own, as your sole act of prayer and praise, or
you can use it alongside night prayer in a pattern of prayer at the
beginning and end of the day.
Church House publishing has now made the app
free for everyone to download. It is available for google play
and the app store.
Revd Dr Brendan McCarthy, the Church of England’s adviser on health
and social policy has reminded all dioceses that all church, clergy
and church officer activity must continue to be carried out within the
government’s social distancing regulations.
Also, individuals must continue to respect the rules about leaving
your home for essential trips only.
He also urges churches to think carefully about the delivery of parish
magazines, pew sheets, Palm crosses or Holy Week orders of service to
those parishioners who may be housebound or self-isolating, deliveries
of such items are NOT classed as essential travel by the government.
Door-to-door deliveries carry a risk of transmitting the virus, as the
deliverer may well be touching garden gates, letterboxes and of course
the items they are delivering. The scientific evidence suggests that
the virus can remain on paper and cardboard for 24 hours, meaning that
letters, leaflets and envelopes will carry a similar risk of spreading
infection.
