President Russell M. Nelson
“During times of deep distress, as when illness reaches pandemic proportions, the most natural thing for us to do is to call upon our Heavenly Father and His Son—the Master Healer—to show forth Their marvelous power to bless the people of the earth. …
"I invite all, including those not of our faith, to fast and pray on Good Friday, April 10, that the present pandemic may be controlled, caregivers protected, the economy strengthened, and life normalized."
President Russell M. Nelson
Thy footstool comes unraveled, Lord; we don't know what to do.
Our lives are far from normal as pandemics kill anew.
Our treasures and our monuments are hollow and unstable;
our leaders have but itching ears and follow ev'ry fable.
As from abundance we retreat, as we begin to fast,
have mercy on our plight, O Lord, forgive our follies past.
Heal our ravaged planet and restore our fragile hold
on the Hope of Ages, even Jesus Christ of old!
