We live comfortably, but that’s rarely the experience of Catholics. Many, if not most Catholics throughout history lived very rough lives. They’ve been outcasts, despised, reviled, jailed, tortured, and killed. In this pandemic, we too share in this experience of discomfort. How will we respond?

In the midst of this chaos, it’s plain to see our misplaced reliance on ourselves. Our failure to place total faith in God is made quite plain. This is an invitation to get back into the sheepfold. It’s an opportunity to let God do as He promised, and to concern ourselves with the spiritual welfare of our families.

We seek safety and stability, two concepts rarely experienced in the Salvation History by God’s people. Be bold enough to live out the faith that you proclaim. Seek God.
