What better way to begin this E-Star than with prayers that Fr. Michael Sent:
"Resurrected Lord: Dwell in each of our hearts, in each person who has been hospitalized, in all medical personnel, in priests and pastors, in the rulers of the nations and civic leaders, in our families at home, in our grandparents, in those who are in prison, who are afflicted, who are oppressed and mistreated, in those who do not have their daily bread, in those who have lost a loved one because of covid-19 or some other condition. May the Resurrected Christ bring us hope, strengthen our faith, fill us with love and kinship, and grant us his peace. Amen. "
Collect for Hope during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Bountiful God, source of the greatest good for all of us: Guide us in the right direction towards a better future for your creation. Help us to overcome our own limitations during this pandemic, and grant us steadfast love to look after each other. Give us humbleness of heart to accept that without you we cannot be real stewards of your creation. Show us ways to spread the gospel that will touch hearts and change minds for a better tomorrow for all humanity, the preservation of every creature, and the planet. In the name of your beloved Son, we ask it. Amen.

WOW, these prayers are also reminders of ALL that most of us are so fortunate to have in our Wonderful Country and are also a reminder of what so many do not have here and elsewhere.
This truly is a Prayer for ALL TIMES, and especially now for All of us. Thank you, Fr. Michael
