A Blessing for Healthcare Workers in a Time of Pandemic
Blessed are the ones who cannot be isolated.
Blessed are the doctors, nurses, chaplains, and hospital staff. Blessed are the hands that are raw from scrubbing and sanitizing, the palms that glisten with oil of healing. Blessed are the shoulders that carry the weight of life and death. Blessed are the feet that are aching from standing at the bedside and running between rooms. Blessed are the hearts that are frightened and breaking.
