“We can only get out of this situation together, humanity together,” Pope Francis urges Aleteia / Kathleen N. Hattrup / March 21, 2020
“Pope thanks healthcare workers who, despite extreme fatigue, still take extra time to make up for the absence of the patients’ families. Pope Francis urged hope and unity in a brief interview with La Stampa held March 16 and published March 20, saying that we must “look at each other with a sense of solidarity.” He said that after all of this passes, it will be a “bit like a post-war period,” and we’ll have to rebuild. The Holy Father encouraged this time of preparation for Easter – which will be celebrated with people to attend liturgies – to remember that life has dark moments for everyone, and make that a motive for solidarity. “We think they can happen only to someone else,” but this current crisis shows us differently, since no one is excluded. Pope Francis suggested now is the time to cry out to the Lord as Peter and the Apostles did when they felt they could drown. “In a difficult situation, a desperate one, it is important to know that there is the Lord to hold on to.” God supports us in many ways. God gives us strength and closeness; in the same way He did with the disciples who asked for help in the storm. Or when He gave His hand to Peter who was drowning. Asked how non-believers might find this consolation, the Holy Father said he didn’t want to separate the believers from the non-believers, since as human beings, we are all in the same boat, and no human experience is foreign to the Christian. “Here we cry because we suffer. All of us. What helps us is synergy, mutual collaboration, the sense of responsibility, and the spirit of sacrifice that is generated in many places. We don’t have to make a distinction between believers and non-believers; let’s go to the root: humanity. Before God we are all children.” The Pope said he has been hearing the stories of how final good-byes are being done through nurses’ and doctors’ cell phones, as family members are unable to be with dying patients. He said he thanks these health care workers who, “despite their extraordinary fatigue, [still] bend with patience and kindness of the heart, to make up for the forced absence of the patients’ families.” Francis also looked to a silver lining in the pandemic: That we’re being reminded that all of humankind is one family, community. “And how important and decisive is universal brotherhood. We have to think that it will be like a post-war period. There will no longer be ‘the other,’ but it will be ‘us.’ Because we can only get out of this situation together.” We will have to look at the roots even more: the grandparents, the elderly. To build a real brotherhood among all of us. To remember this difficult experience we lived all together. And to move forward with hope, which never disappoints. These will be the keywords to start again: roots, memory, brotherhood and hope.” PONDERINGS FROM FATHER BILL Recently I went to a store to get a birthday gift for a friend, who has passed into the tenth decade of existence. The store manager, Tim, is a dedicated employee and very personable. He knows I am a Catholic priest, and is respectful of my religious affiliation as I am of his Jewish roots. I have shared with him my numerous memories and experiences while traveling in the Holy Land, and the outlying areas of Israel. Tim asked me to keep his mother Edith in my thoughts and good wishes. I will go one better - pray for her at Mass. We are one in faith ultimately, reaching out to God in our various ways and traditions. Pope Francis conveys this unified vision with his thoughts, despite the differences of beliefs expressed. The virus pandemic hopefully builds upon this human unity. Father Bill

Today THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
First Reading: Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9 The Lord appears to Moses on Mount Sinai and proclaims to him that he Lord is a “merciful God...slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.” Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 Paul exhorts the Corinthians to live in peace and harmony, and for the first time, invokes the Blessed Trinity. Gospel: John 3:16-18 In this beautiful passage, Jesus tells Nicodemus that God loved his people so much that he “gave his only son.” Jesus reveals to Nicodemus that anyone who believes in him will not die but will enjoy life with him for all eternity.

Deacon Jack Seymour Food Pantry
Once regular weekly masses are resumed , we will then start collecting food for the pantry. Thanks to all and stay safe and healthy. ****THE FOOD PANTRY TEAM**** The words of St. Francis de Sales bring a sense of serenity to life these days and we hope they will bring some calm to your life too.
BE AT PEACE
By Saint Francis de Sales Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life; rather, look to them with full hope that as they arise. God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely though all things; and when you cannot stand it, god will carry you in His arms. Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same understanding Father who care for you today will take care of you then and everyday. He will either shield you from suffering or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
SACRED HEART DONATIONS FOR MARY’S HOPE - Due to the coronavirus, we are running low on food items. We are very much in need of spaghetti and sauce, chicken and tuna in a can, cereal, rice-a-roni, and hamburger helper. Please note we cannot give out expired food to our clients. Note: With the rectory being closed, please drop off your donations at the convent (next to St. Francis rectory) between 10am-2pm. You can put the food on the porch. If the door is locked, please knock. Thank you for your generosity. Pope Francis’s Prayer to Mary During Coronavirus Pandemic O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of Your People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to you and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
