A Time for Faith, Hope, and Love


          We are approaching Holy Week… with a highly contagious virus floating in the air.  Masses and devotionals are being live-streamed and latex gloves are worn when touching anything beyond the house.  Personally, I’m not sure if this is a direct message from God, but I do know that there is a great need for faith, hope, and of course love for each other.  I would also like to add that the Church very recently commemorated 15 years since Pope St. John Paul the II’s death.  I love his timely words when he once said, "I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid."
          As we reflect on the passion, death, and resurrection of Our Lord, let us know Who to turn our hearts to.  We must follow all directions to stay healthy, but we can also do it in peace.  I know from day to day experience that is hard to live without anxiety emotionally knocking me over.  But I also know that Someone is here, caring about our well-being.
          Jesus, I Trust in You!
