Meditation:
This is a time of vulnerability. That usually brings about a state of fear. The fear of the unknown. We have had to shut the doors of our churches and postpone Masses till futher notice. Now more than ever we need to be seeking the will of God and not fearing the will of man, Each day seems to bring new panic and uncertantity. Each day, ask God waht God wants us to do today; then ask for his help. A simple request, but so profound and farreaching it can lead us anywhere we need to go. All that we will want for, need, all the answers, all the help, all the love, all the healing, all the widsom is in this simple request. The plan God has made for us is not a plan of fear and deprivation. It is one of fullness, joy and abudence. But first we have to walk into with prayer, using our rosary as the weapon it is to combat fear and more important TRUST that our Heavenly Father will provide for all of our needs. Our trust must be fully in him. I know that not being able to come to Mass may make you feel futher away from Christ, but please know there are so many ways to reach out and receive him. Our adoration chapel is open 24/7 with the Holy Scarament exposed. Confessions are still being heard. Please do not let the scarment of confession go unnoticed at this time.
Prayer:
Today, God I pray that you give me the courage to rebuke the spirit of fear through prayer, adoration, confession and the most powerful weapon of all the Rosary. Give me the insight to identify the good in my life and ask for it. Give me the faith and stamina i need to make it through these times of trials and tribulations that can increase fear and panic in our hearts. God, you created me and I put all of my trust in you. -AMEN
