☦ Eastern Orthodoxy: Prayers for Healing and Protection from the Virus

[No Vested Interest]

1. The first prayer was written by Kerry Weber, an executive editor of America Magazine.

He titled it A Prayer Amid an Epidemic. I thought the prayer was beautiful and pertinent to our present everyday lives.

America is a publication of the Jesuits, published online daily with meaningful articles regarding religious and moral life in the United States.

I was privileged to be introduced to "America" about 67 years, in the later years of high school, where a subscription to that magazine was required as part of the religious curriculum. Today the magazine is still current and forward-looking in its content.
I congratulate the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese for sharing these meaningful words with their congregants and the larger audience of Christian believers.

(I note the address of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America on E. 79th St., NYC. Wouldn't be surprised if they are nearby the headquarters of America magazine.... Good neighbors.)
