Life Before the Pandemic ... and Now
An original poem by Sister Karen Buco, who is resident of Mt. Assisi Place
and ministers as an assistant in our congregation's Finance Office
As we live through this Pandemic I hardly know what to say,
Except that the stay-home restrictions would soon be lifted
And we all could live once again our "normal way."
The hope and wish that I want to take place
is that our daily gathering and praying together in Chapel
could move once again to our sacred space.
From the Chapel to my room is now my daily place of prayer.
At my Sacred Corner, my needs and desires with my God I share.
I find it really hard not have my sisters or visitors, to be able at this time to come here, And not to go out to work at the Finance Office or be with all those I hold so dear.
Please Lord, let this pandemic that we face together soon be through.
My hope and wish is for your healing touch that only you in your goodness can do.
Bless me with renewed faith and peace and joy, as I journey day by day.
Give me strength and courage to walk the path that will lead me "Your Way."
