One mantra that has been going through my mind and my heart during these extraordinarily odd days: “My grace is sufficient for you” (2 Cor 12:9).

Don’t take me for undermining the sacramental life of the Church and the sacramentality of the Incarnation of Christ nor the tangible yet transcendent beauty of the Holy Mass. I am encouraging you to take ALL the graces from this strange time. A time for increasing our faith, our hope, and our charity.

Today, traditionally was a day to commemorate the Sorrows of Our Lady. Go to the heart of Mary today, as a place of solace, but also as a place to console the heart pierced with sorrow.
