Let us pray:
Lord Jesus,
the bravery and courage
and self-sacrifice
of the villagers of Eyam
remind us of your words
that there is no greater love
than for someone
to lay down their life
for their friends. Jn 1512
We pray for courage
when difficult times come upon us.
We pray, too, for the generosity
to think of others before ourselves.
Amen.
