O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a

sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to

you, Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you

participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith. You,

Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.

We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you

did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return

after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine

Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to

do what Jesus tells us: He who took our sufferings

upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us,

through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. We

seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of

God. Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the

test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and

blessed Virgin. Amen.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Forbearance is a remarkable skill. I am

endlessly impressed by people who maintain their

composure while they feel their life slipping out of

their control. When a loved one falls ill, when a job

ends, when tragic destruction hits, it is easy to feel

angry, afraid, and even betrayed. The person with the

virtue of forbearance does not slip into self pity or self-

destructive behavior in such moments.  They have a

bigger perspective—a vision that transcends the

present moment and sees this moment in the context of

the whole of life and even eternity. The person with

forbearance knows that all suffering, even death, has

its place and value for our growth and good.

We are invited to grow in the virtue of

forbearance during this time.  Many of us have had the

illusion of control stripped away from us. We are

confined to very limited movement. We are unable to

visit friends and family. Our daily routines, so

comforting in their consistency, have been turned

upside down.

While worry is a natural response to the

imposition of reality upon our expectations, it does us

no good. When you feel your hope slipping and faith

fading, I invite you to sit with a passage from the

Gospel of Matthew.  In Mt. 6:25-34, Jesus reminds us

of the truth of who we are in relationship with our

Creator. Simply put, He tells us everything is going to

be fine, come what may. It is from belief in His

assurances that forbearance can grow in our hearts.

Please know you remain in our daily prayers

here at the Mission.  Please call if there is anything we

can do to support you, even if it is just to talk.

God bless you all!

Your Brother in Christ,

Msgr Chad Gion
