I am with you always
by Fred Schaeffer, OFS

"Before He was taken up to Heaven, Jesus came and said to the people, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”" Mt. 28:18-20 RSVCE

Jesus said:  "I am with you always, to the end of the age"

We should try to remember that, when we are in trouble. Many of us are anxious about the COVID-19 that seems to be accelerating again. The Bishop (Diocese of Palm Beach, Florida) has asked that masks be always worn in our churches, from the moment we enter the building, and of course that distancing be practiced. But we are not alone. Jesus is always with us. Do not be afraid, because fear itself is worse than the condition we are in. And, if you have been diagnosed with coronavirus, please stay home.
