The COVID-19 pandemic and all its challenges has been compounded with the unfathomable massacre of 22 innocent victims at Portapique, the epicenter of despair. Evil festers unwittingly in many circles. The entire country is in mourning demonstrating compassion, comfort and support, such as a virtual vigil. Time mends the brokenhearted. Do not dwell on the evil which has transpired and allow it to overwhelm your heart with anger. Follow Jesus journey of sacrifice, crucifixion and resurrection. Walk your life's path with Jesus in your heart and feel his truth. We live with love, hope and joy in our hearts and are not alone. Eternal life is our salvation.His light shines for all, to the glory of God.

Amen.
