We stand in the shoes of the royal official (Jn 4: 43-54) these days, asking the Lord to remove the Coronavirus...Pope Francis is leading prayers and giving his Urbi et Orbi blessing in great faith, the faith that moved Jesus to heal the man's son. No doubt each of us is praying with similar faith for our families, friends, co-workers, ourselves and people around the world for protection and for healing. It is a time that demands faith in God's loving care and healing power, but in our impatience, we long for an immediate answer and immediate relief. We are scared as we hear daily of the rapid spread of the virus and increasing number of deaths. Yet it is a call for a deeper faith and greater need to put our lives in line with God's plan. Good will emerge from this. I's s somewhat evident now and will become more so in the months ahead. With the extra time we have, may we use it to sit quietly and confidently with God.
