We are under a declared state of emergency practicing self isolation and social distancing but yet together as we combat the pandemic COVID-19 corona virus. We are not alone. Be kind to one another. Trust in God and be not afraid when you're paralyzed with fear. Consider fear an opportunity to draw closer to God. Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Believe in him and never die. Jesus brought Lazarus, brother of Mary and Martha back to life so that all could see and believe. Live your life following the teachings of Jesus, follow his light and be not afraid, all to the glory of God.

Amen.
