The coronavirus pandemic has spread throughout the world. God is inviting us to return to Him. It is a time of grace if we use this time well.
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
What can we do when Masses have been suspended and we are deprived of the Sacraments? This Lent, we have been drawn into the desert, a time of isolation and loneliness. What can we do during this time of testing?
Ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to be with you and walk with you throughout the day. Ask her to help you grow in the virtues of faith, hope and love. Ask her to teach you how to ponder as she did.
His Mother kept all these things in her heart. Luke 2:51
If your Church is open, pray before the tabernacle.
If you can go to Eucharistic adoration, go and sit in His Presence.
Set aside time for silent prayer.
Pray the Rosary with your family or alone.
Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
Pray the Liturgy of the Hours.
Follow the Mass Liturgy live streamed daily and Sundays.
Pray with the Scriptures with Lectio Divina.
Pray with the Scriptures with imaginative prayer of St. Ignatius
Pray a Spiritual Communion Prayer often during the day.
Make little sacrifices.
Send your Guardian Angel to be present at the Masses every priest celebrates privately.
Live in conscious communion with your Guardian Angel, your life companion and best friend, who has the mission to lead you to Jesus and Mary.
Pray for the Restoration of the Mass throughout the world. Use this time to make your own home a place of prayer, a retreat away from the world. Countless blessings will come from this time in the desert. Jesus will bring you into His wonderful light!
Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12
