Monday of the 4th week in Lent

Monday is usually my day off. I typically sleep in, and have a later "brunch". But these are not typical times!

Fr. Jeremias preached this morning about the healing of the son of the Royal official. While Jesus was in Cana and the boy was in 
Capernaum there was a physical separation - but the healing showed that there was no spiritual separation.

As we continue through this Covid-19 state of emergency, we are separated physically from the sacraments, yet we are not spiritually separated from each other.  Like Jesus and the Royal official's son - we are closer than ever to each other in prayer.

Many of you have seen this image of a priest celebrating Mass with the photos of people in the pews.

While we do not have pictures in the pews - I do think of you parishioners as I look out into the church during the daily masses we are celebrating. Since we are so often creatures of habit - sitting in the same area Sunday after Sunday - as I look out I imagine you sitting in the places you often sit in the assembly!

Be assured of our continued prayers for you and your family!

Peace
