We can be signs of hope and witnesses of God's love to the world around us during these challenging days. Let's work together to show the world God's love.
St. Paul tells us, "Even if I am absent in the flesh, still I am with you in spirit". Every time we livestream mass or go to God in prayer, we are united together in Christ, we are united with one another. Remain steadfast in prayer!
We are in the middle of an event that will change the world, how will you let it change you? There's a bigger reality here than even the coronavirus, that God loves us and conquered death for us.

Even though we have been stripped of so much about how we might define ourselves (work, sports, etc...), we still have our deepest identity as sons and daughters of God. Remember who you are.
During this unusual time, as strange as it is, we have an incredible opportunity to refocus and ask ourselves about what really matters in our lives. How are you re-focusing?
As Christians, should we fear death? Of course we have many fears and unknowns, especially in current time. But we know that Christ has paid the price for us, and we have the hope of eternal life.
We might be experiencing anxiety or fear, but we are a people of faith. Rooting ourselves in prayer keeps us close to Christ and the Church.
