From the Office of the Bishop of Ottawa: “While some may wish to acknowledge this anniversary in a solemn, retrospective manner, like a lament; others may wish to also focus forward, giving thanks for the development of vaccines and efficacious treatment; acknowledging the disparities and injustices that have been laid bare during the pandemic; and praying that human enterprise will be employed in ways that are more just, compassionate, and Christ-like as we begin the journey out of this long pandemic year.”
