In these times of pandemic, we are faced with such grief and loss that we often cannot find the words to pray. This collection of 30 prayers opens with the beautiful prayer above, which went viral in the early days of social distancing. Each of these powerful prayers is written with our challenging times in mind, and offers words to accompany the “groaning of our spirits.” The prayers can be used both for private devotion and community worship. They offer to all who read them “a consoling embrace.”
