June 21, 2020

In stewardship of the gift of life, we are not, as Thomas Kelly wrote, required to bear all crosses.  What is required is that we do our best - the best that we can see to do - in adapting to life with all its changes.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed human life in our homes and neighborhoods, and across the nation and the world.  The pandemic is affecting people's health, activities, resources and emotions.

As we adapt, as we cope with the pandemic, are we alone?

No.

We have each other, individually and as communities.

We have that of God in each other.

And we have that of God within ourselves, the Holy Spirit, the ever-present guardian, master, and guide to growth, resilience, creativity, wisdom, self-care and love.
