Prayer

Thomas of Celano, an early friar and author of three hagiographies of Francis, wrote that the saint “burned with a love that came from his whole being for the sacrament of the Lord’s body.”

A jazz saxophonist once put it this way: “Music pulls me deeper into being.” 

Take a moment today and reflect on how God’s light has been there for you or your loved ones during these times of distress.

Don’t be alone in your spiritual emptiness. Join a Bible study or faith-sharing group in your parish in person or online.

Fear is human. It's universal. It's almost become a companion for some in these fractured times.

There is nothing wrong with asking for something in prayer, as this names for God the desires of our hearts.
