A Reading of “Lockdown” with Peter Levine, PhD

As the pandemic continues and case numbers are on the rise, many people are facing another lockdown during the holiday season – and for a lot of them, feelings of isolation and sadness might be ramping back up. 

During an interview a few months back, Peter Levine, PhD paused to read the poem “Lockdown” by Brother Richard Hendrick, a Capuchin Franciscan living in Ireland.

It’s a reminder that even during times of fear, sickness, and even death, there are still reasons for hope and love.

Beautiful! Thank you for the reminder not to lose faith in these difficult times. The lack of Heart to heart conversations has led to a more significant divide in our country.
