The Fifth Sunday of Lent offers a reminder of what the journey
is all about. The theme of Resurrection
and Life points us to the deepest truth revealed by Jesus Christ. This world has its limits, and while on
earth, we have to live within them. But
we are not created simply to live in this world. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. By raising Lazarus, Jesus allows His power to
be seen in this world. Through His
suffering and death, Jesus will make clear to us that our destiny is glory.
The experience of a greater and greater isolation from one
another in a physical way highlights for us the importance of our awareness of
the fact that we are still one in the Lord.
We can support one another and be one in prayer no matter where we are.
Day by day, this week, I have been learning more how to use
the social media to remind everyone that we can still walk together along the
journey of Faith. I have been touched by
the myriad of ways folks are finding to show support for one another. The world has changed, but we are more aware
of what is most important in our lives and that does not change.
We must pray that the lessons we are learning now will stay
with us. May we grow in prayer and love
and our willingness to cooperate with grace. May we put our trust in Jesus Christ,
Who IS the Resurrection and the Life.
Each
Day St. Timothy Church will have a Livestream Mass, usually 9 AM Weekdays, 10

I am also sending out
an update each day to those whose email addresses I have. If you are not receiving these, send an email
to tmhayes@rrohio.com and I will add you to
the list.
Be sure that you are kept
daily in my prayers. We are destined to
live forever together. Let’s not let a
time of “stay at home” come between our hearts.
