A Time for Catholic Courage

Fear is best met with faith

The world can change so quickly.

It seems almost like a magic trick at times….

You know, the one where the magician pulls the tablecloth out but doesn’t tip over the glasses?

That is exactly how quickly the entire landscape has changed economically, socially, and even politically (though the full ramifications of each of these are not yet fully apparent).

How apropos that this period of solitude, dramatic change and reevaluation occurred during the season of Lent.

Everyone seems to be rightly questioning everything in light of our current reality.

Many are worried about the ‘how’ of today:

-How will I pay my bills?
-How will I afford food?
-How will I find a new job?

Many others are worried about the ‘why’ of it all:

-Why did this happen?
-Why is God doing this to us?
-Why weren’t we prepared?

Others may be asking ‘what’ can I do, or perhaps even ‘who’ should be blamed. It is a time of questions.
