No, not what you were thinking. This Sunday coming is the nearest to Workers’ Memorial Day on the 28th April.
God of love,
we remember today all those who have died
in accidents at work,
or because of diseases contracted at work.
We remember particularly
those who have died with COVID-19,
medical workers, carers, bus drivers,
shop workers and many many others;
each one a son or daughter,
husband or wife, father or mother,
grandparent.
In the silence, we remember them…
…with thankful and grieving hearts,
we remember them.
We pray about the future,
and ask that everyone who sets off for work
may come home again safe and healthy.
Strengthen those who seek to make the work place a safe place.
Give wisdom and a care for human life to all.
And in these days where it’s hard to know what to do for the best,
and safety equipment is hard to come by,
then God strengthen us all,
and heal the rifts in our relating
which are exposed in times of difficulty.
Lord, in your mercy
hear our prayer.
