Today’s Readings: ACTS 15:1-6 PS 122:1-5 JN 15:4-5

Oh, my friends. Sometimes, you see the reading for the day and you have to remind yourself it wasn’t just picked for the current situation.

We’ve reinstated daily Masses (with social distancing) this week and you have flocked back!

Do you have ANY IDEA how good it feels to pull into the church parking lot and see cars?!

Today’s Psalm says it all: “Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.”

Let those of us who are able, come back. Let us rejoice. Let us pray for all those who cannot yet join us. Let us pray for those who have died from any illness over the past few months. And let us thank the Lord that (for whatever the reason) the death toll has been so far below most of the publicized predictions.

Truly, let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
