The Resurrection sets the pattern for our sufferings, illnesses and quandaries. When things seem the worst, when hope is stretched to the point of despair, a turn around always comes just at the right time. An interview with Br. Anthony from Liberia describes the great reduction in Ebola cases in a country which was ravaged by the epidemic. Schools and businesses were closed, people were dying by droves. Help came, and the spread of the disease was contained. Preventative measures are still in place, mainly the washing of hands (of all the simplest of things), schools and businesses are open again. Aleppo seems hopeless, yet at the same time, hope does spring that a turn around will take place there as in Monrovia, Liberia. In this morning's Gospel (Jn 21: 1-14)), the empty net is filled when Jesus appears, and the apostles sit at a breakfast he prepared. Jesus is always with us...Let our minds and hearts never lose sight of him, nor of HOPE!
