COVID-19: The Sabbath we had to have?

Peter Day, Canberra & Gouburn Priest, asks what the COVID experience teaches us about being human. 

As we lament this interminable time of suspended animation when even healthy human contact is potentially a criminal offence, or, at the very least, frowned upon as an egregious social sin; a searing question emerges from deep within: ‘What does it mean to be human – to be a citizen?’

Hope

COVID time reflection 

Hope

Christa Murphy SSpS offers a thought around finding hope in times of trouble.

Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. He leads us in our faith, and brings it to fullness. He didn’t give up because of the cross; because of the joy held before him, he embraced it… (Heb.12:2-4/adapt.)
