We all confront many earthly challenges from earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, droughts and famines, to the latest worldwide epidemic, the coronavirus. We are our brothers and sisters keepers and collectively responsible for their welfare. God sent Jesus to save the world, not condemn the world. He said flesh is flesh and spirit is spirit. Believe in Jesus and be born again of the spirit. Transform your life by repentance and renewal during lent and with the eyes of faith see Jesus radiate in all our brothers and sisters. Respond to him with love and service. Eternal life for those that believe, all to the glory of God.

Amen.
