To the editor,
On March 30, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln called for a National Day of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer for the end of the Civil War, a time of great distress and death for our nation.
Today, our nation is also facing a time of great distress and death as it struggles against the coronavirus. While the U.S. has done much to battle the virus socially and scientifically, and much progress has been made, humans are ultimately in control of very little in this world.
