This week's reflection
Fortunately, just as fear can be infectious, so hope is infectious. When individuals and families and communities, or even nations, come together around new found hope... that new momentum can be unstoppable. The smile replaces the frown. Conversation replaces silence. Fear of the future is replaced by confidence to respond to its challenges.

Reflection for March 27 2020
We must rediscover the concreteness of little things, small gestures of attention we can offer those close to us, our family, our friends. We must understand that in small things lies our treasure. They are familiar gestures of attention to the details of everyday life that make life meaningful and that create communion and communication among us.
Pope John Francis
Reflection for March 20 2020
The very last thing we need right now is a mindset of mutual distancing... We actually need to be thinking in the exact opposite way. Every hand that we don't shake must become a phone call that we place. Every embrace that we avoid must become a verbal expression of warmth and concern. Every inch and every foot that we physically place between ourselves and another must become a thought as to how we might help that other, should the need arise. Let's stay safe. And let's draw one another closer in a way that we've never done before.

We join in prayer and concern for those grieving the loss of 176 people in the plane that crashed near Tehran, Iran. We grieve with those who grieve. We mourn with those who mourn. We offer our hearts and our hands with love and support. We pray for comfort for those who feel the pain most deeply. We honour those whose lives were taken too soon. We will remember them.
