And People Stayed Home, A pome by Kathleen O’Meara’s.
And people stayed home, and read books,
and listened, and rested, and exercised,
and made art and played,
and learn new ways of being and stopped,
and listened deeper.
Someone meditated,
someone prayed,
someone danced,
someone met their shadow.
And people began to think differently,
and people healed,
and in the absence of people,
who lives in ignorant ways,
dangerous, meaningless, and heartless.
Even the earth began to heal,
and when the danger ended,
and people found each other,
grieved for the dead people.
They made new choices and dreamed new visions,
and created new ways of life,
and healed the earth completely,
just as they were healed themselves.

Prayers at Home When Gathering for Mass is Not Possible
30 March 2020
This prayer booklet has been prepared by the
Diocese of Clonfert and the Diocese of Elphin,
specifically for this time we find ourselves in.
While you can pray this at any time,
a good time to do so would be at the time Mass
is normally celebrated in your local parish.
If you have a printer you could make a copy
For a family member or elderly Neighbour.
