Our Lady of Guadalupe Church

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Guadalupe,

When Lent began we were reminded to pray, fast and give alms. Little did we know what type of fasting we would have to endure this Lent.  Fasting means to let go of certain things. With the Coronavirus we have had to let go of so many things that we take for granted. I couldn’t help but think what is this time saying to us? Maybe this Lent is a time to look at our relationships not only with God but with those we love. This is a time to make room for more silence and prayer in our life. This is a time to read the Scriptures. As regards our relationship with those we love: let’s spend more quality time with them. Let’s get to enjoy each other each day. Find ways in your home to make this possible.

Above all, we mustn’t lose hope. The Lord promised to walk with us when we were in the valley. He will bring us through this as He did during Katrina and other difficult challenges in our life.

Let us pray for each other and for those who have been affected by the coronavirus.

Fr. Tony
