In this era of pandemic, I opened the Bible to Psalm 91 and discovered these two verses: “You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shade of the Almighty, say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust…
You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that files by day nor the pestilence that roams in darkness nor the plague that ravages at noon.” Adding this to my daily reflection tempers the fear generated by mixed signals emanating from the media.

I am torn by the media and the reports on the Corona virus. I want to stay safe and not put anyone else in harms way because of my actions: but I’m finding it very difficult to stay at home and not socialize. Thanks Joe for sharing your feelings!

Good things come from suffering. Thank you for the reminder as I go through the excruciating emotional and physical pain of my 9th miscarriage. I know this about suffering and I have accepted that perhaps this is my cross right now and I have been trying to offer up my pain to the Lord for others who are suffering from infertility and for an end to abortion. I am blessed to have two young, precious living boys. However, both my husband and I have a strong desire in our hearts to grow our family even if it is just by one more child. We are seeing a Catholic, Napro physician and doing all we can to be healthy. Our story doesn’t end here. I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. We all can. Thank you Joe for your thoughtful words every week. I’ve been following this site for many years now. I am blessed by you and all the writers here. God bless you and your family and everyone here at A Catholic Moment. Felice

Joe, thank you for your honesty. Richard, thank your prayer.

It’s possible to be thankful and depressed at the same time.

Thank you Joe. You have hit the mark again. “Good things come…in His name”. Awesome!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoy our virtual masses, it is truly a wonder to be fortunate and blessed to have this technology. St. Ignatius said to find God in all things.

Thank you for sharing these words. We crave a return to being in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament – the greatest Gift of all time. In the meantime …

O HOLY ANGEL at my side,
Go to Church for me,
Kneel in my place, at Holy Mass,
Where I desire to be.
