My hospital is definitely in the thick. We are seeing more COVID 19 patients as the days pass. I have cared for COVID patients and their number is increasing. We all carry on . It is our job. I pray my way in, during and at the end of the day. I do look for some scripture to read, ponder, ruminate and absorb as my armor! I would love any recommendations you can send me!
We thank the Lord for your medical dedication, education and experience! We are grateful for your faith and trust in the Lord, and for your witness among your colleagues and patients.
For your spiritual readings, meditations and prayers, I propose reading a paragraph of a chapter from the New Testament every day. Follow St. John's first letter to be followed by the second …Just one paragraph from the beginning to the end!
Second, a daily meditation and prayers with the Psalms used by the Lord as attested in the Gospel. I will propose some for your morning prayers and some for your evening prayers.
Morning Psalms: 1, 2, 3, 8,13,17,19, 25, 26, 27, 33, 34, 40, 42, 46. Select one, two or three among them where you feel your heart, mind and energy are really involved!
Evening Psalms: 4, 5,12, 17, 22, 23, 28, 32, 38, 41, 47, 51, 62, 67,85
Special for your positive energy:
Morning : Psalm 103, 104
Evening : Psalm 107, 112
Let us try this way. I hope it works!
Grace and Peace,
Fr. Kamal
