We recently heard from Nell Wulff in St. Louis, Missouri, and Moe Nieman in Cincinnati, Ohio, who together wrote a blessing for face masks. They agreed to share it and invited us to do so. You may want to keep a copy next to your masks, as a reminder of the good that they do.

The Blessing of the Masks
by Moe Nieman and Nell Wulff

May our Good and Loving Creator bless these masks and the hands that made them

May these coverings of love and smiles reveal eyes that speak and cry

May they speak for the heart within, beating for life and breath

May these masks be as life-giving as trees

May masks mirror our kinship with Sister, Mother Earth
