This is already the Fifth Sunday of Easter and eighth since the “stay home stay safe” order by our Governor. We have experienced a lot and learned a lot (at least about ourselves or our family members). Our hair grew longer, our cooking skills improved, and perhaps we have gained a pound or two. However, we look back on these 8 weeks - we are blessed to have each other, blessed to have ways in which we can study, communicate, see and share the news, concerns, as well as pray for each other. This is not a coincidence that we live in this time. The wheels of history rolled into our lives, places of work, worship and leisure. We have the opportunity now, to be those vessels through which God’s grace and blessings, healing and mercy flow, after all we are His people, people of the Risen Lord, chosen, royal, holy, and set apart. Assured today not to be afraid - let’s be Bold, Holy and Catholic in response to it.
