 Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Welcome to the ninth week of online school. 
Father, we cry out to you with joy for keeping us safe and allowing us to have the technology to continue worshiping you from our homes, especially during this Easter season. We ask you to fill our spiritual and political leaders with the wisdom to make decisions that are prudent and just. We ask that you protect and comfort the medical and community servants that minister to those affected by the virus. We pray for all who are suffering and dying because of the virus. We pray for the unemployed. We pray that you grant us the fortitude to focus on our education.  We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen 
Our Lady of Mercy; pray for us.
