Lord we miss our churches

We miss their beauty

We miss their shared memory

We miss meeting you in the sacrament

We miss the fellowship

But we are in lockdown

Teach us patience

Grant us hope

Be with us wherever we are

In our homes

Online

On the phone

In letters and emails

Teach us solidarity

Let there be no nuanced excuses

Lockdown is lockdown

Protect the vulnerable

Keep us all safe
