Letter to the Herald

Blessed are our essential workers: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are our leaders, who follow science and facts: for they shall possess the truth

Blessed are they who grieve: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are they who observe health protocols: for they shall be fulfilled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are our first responders: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the caretakers of our seniors: for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are our medical/healthcare professionals: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

—Guy Lee, parishioner at Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa
