As Pope John Paul the Great said, “We are an Easter people and Hallelujah is our song!”
I don’t know what is happening in the world. I mean, I know what is happening, but I don’t know the “why”. I know that the Lord hasn’t created this pandemic to punish us (God is good and He doesn’t will evil) but I do know that He is inviting us to seek Him in the midst of our fear and anxiety.
I have found myself abundantly peaceful. Maybe it’s because we were quarantined and homeschooling before it was vogue. Maybe it’s because all occasions for getting sick have been removed and everyone is now as conscious as us about getting sick. Maybe it’s because Carlos is home and the whole family is under one roof and I feel extremely secure when we are all together. Maybe it’s because the Lord has taught me to stop worrying about things I can’t control over the last year. Whatever it is, I will take it.
I am and will continue to pray for each of you. I had mentioned that we had mail going out to you, I apologize for the delay. We managed to get out and grab stamps and envelopes, so mailing with continue. If you would like a cheer me up, send me your address.
Last but not least here is a link to an Easter reflection I did for our Diocese. As Catholics we celebrate Easter for 50 days so I figured this reflection still has legs for a little bit longer. I hope you find solace in the Lord, no matter what you are feeling.
Two for Joy 
Your diocese reflection was enlightening and reflective. I enjoyed reading it. Hope there are more sometime

Elana. I am surprised by my feeling of gladness and peace more than any limitations. I’ve learned that why’s generally are unimportant or detract from where my focus really needs to be even at times cause my journey to stall. Thank you for sharing and reminding us we are an Easter people.
I feel the loss of mass and Eucharist most when I genuflect before him at Adoration or the tabernacle. I miss being with others raising together in song. He’s with me, in me. There is no less of him and yet…
