A NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING

It is Thursday, May 28, 2020. This is a national day of mourning for the 100,000 Americans who have died of COVID-19, all within the last three months. All of us should take a moment today and say a prayer for these people and their families and friends, indeed for all of us. We are in the presence of a national disaster. This is the worst natural catastrophe to hit our country in a century and it is far from over. In fact, it is just beginning. There is more to come, much more. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are likely to die of this terrible plague before it is over. God help us.

As we reflect somberly today, I recommend this video made by a doctor on the front lines of the war against the unseen enemy.

As hard as it is, we must not forget we are here for the living of this hour. As we grieve, we must go on. We must do our best. Peace.
