God blesses. we would like to think that the Pharisee responded to Jesus’ words and dedicated the rest of his life to giving alms. I pray that others were focused on Jesus and his message, and on their own hearts.

This is my first time reading your post and thank you for your insights. I would be considered by so many, including Brigid, as being uncaring of the welfare of others
since i choose to not cover. The message of fear masking sends disturbs me deeply as does the misinformation and wrong info being spread. Read history, listen to very wise and well-informed medics, don’t buy into something just to make others feel comfortable. Jesus didn’t nor did His cousin, John. Most importantly, Jesus touched lepers and healed them. Sanitizing and touching Our Lord—-no comment.

These are health measures, not empty rituals or social conventions. Jesus told his host to not ignore the needs of others but to act charitably. So should we all, at all times.

I didn’t wear a mask, nor did I question anyone for wearing one. I pray that others were focused on Jesus and his message, and on their own hearts.

Awesome stuff today Mr. Garvey.
