Right now the entire world is fighting a battle with an enemy that cannot be seen. When most people are called to fight - arm themselves - prepare for battle - they know what their enemy looks like - where they live - their strong points - weaknesses. This battle - not like any normal battle. As big - as strong as we may be - nothing to compare when fighting microscopic enemies. Our strength - our knowledge - our intellect - our faith.
Throughout history - many battles fought - won - lost - by people all over the world. Some large - some very small. In all battles - always a winner. This current battle with Corona Virus - not our first - not our last. We may be down - feeling subdued - not out. We have not lost - we will not lose. In all battles - time determines the final winner. A few days left in Lent - our 40 days in the desert drawing to a close. When Jesus was ready to leave the desert - His battle with the Evil One - never gave up - walked away - to fight another day. Like Jesus - we too will walk away from this battle - like Jesus - victorious - as long as we remember - with Jesus at our side - we may be down - not out.
