We all need to hear comforting words at this time. Thank you for your truthful reflection.

In addition to the daily reflection, I enjoy reading the comments because I learn from them as well. I noticed “Sandi’s” comments earlier this week about all that is happening now during Lent, perhaps not coincidentally. It made me think about how we, individually, could take time to think about how we could “be better” and also how we, collectively, could “be better” people and come out of this a better society…especially less selfish and more compassionate and caring.

That is Joe, I always look forward to reading your reflections. We have similar thoughts on many topics. I would take it a step further than “Time” to deal with (God, family, community, Etc…) What about resources? Think of all the money spent on these sporting events that have been canceled – it’s mind boggling. If the people who attended these events have just half of what they would have spent to charity it would be a meaningful amount.
And perhaps one this virus runs out of gas, people may be more inclined to engage in more meaningful activities other than sports.
Don’t get me wrong, I like sports but I personally feel it has mutated into a new kind of monster (virus) over the years.

Thank you, Joe. Your reflection is spot on as always. I’m praying the annunciation novena in the hopes of stopping the spread of the virus.
Prayer is our strongest weapon against this pandemic.
I pray for you and all our Catholic Moment community for continued health.
