It is very hard this Lent to focus one's mind - spirit - on spiritual exercises - when everyone is being bombarded from all sides about the Coronavirus. Unfortunately there is so much misinformation - guessing - experts - amateurs - selfish - greedy - people looking to scare - make a quick dollar - it makes one's head spin. In the midst of all this - precious time wasted - better spent quietly - doing constructive things. Reading - meditating - praying - being quiet - all better uses of time.
Worry is not from The Lord - a tool of the devil - disrupting otherwise peaceful lives. Right now too many worry - when will this end - will I be infected - will I survive. We have gone through this before - survived. Some did not make it - those same people - those who were in the process of dying anyhow. All of us begin the dying process the day we are born. We are born to die - no one immortal - most live fairly long lives. When will this current virus be a thing of the pass. The cap is just off the pen - the ink has not yet started to run. It will be months before life returns to normal - in the meantime remain - people of Hope.
