DIRECTORY

This Sunday’s gospel con-tains the story of Jesus’ disciples making their way back to Emmaus. They were tired to the bone, grief stricken and confused. I’m sure part of their thoughts included: “How do we pick up the pieces and get back to normal, perhaps develop-ing a “new normal.” I’m sure that same thought is enter-ing into your minds. I am not going to pretend that I have the answers about how the “new normal” is going to look. What I would like to of-fer is a few things that might be a significant, foundational beginning, to carry into what awaits us, things that should have already been a part of our “normal” lives. It begins with relationship. Relationship with whom? Hopefully we have been able to build better relationships with family members es-pecially spouses, children, parents, and other family

members, and have grown in appreciation for them, re-evaluating what really is important. With the absence of gathering as a community of faith in church, hopeful-ly we have deepened our relationship with God, and when we are able to return to church, we continue to develop that relationship in and out of church. There are so many folks who have continued to be of service to us in so many professions, hopefully we have deepened our appreciation for them and no longer will take them for granted. There also our brothers and sisters in need, and so many of you have reached out to them, hope-fully that will continue.When I think about it, the above should have already been a part of our “normal.” Unfortunately, that hasn’t always been the case. Let us take what should have already been the “normal”

in our lives into the “new normal.” Let us continue to strengthen relationship; our relationship with God, family, and one another. I want to express my sincere gratitude to so many gener-ous hearts. I truly appreciate the cards of well wishes especially from the children that I found in my mailbox a few weeks back, the emails of concern and gratitude, the face masks ( I could proba-bly do a fashion show with the different styles I have received), and the packaged home cooked meals. Love you all!!!!

God’s peace,Fr. Ed Z.

A “Thank You” from Christian ServiceThings have changed so fast that it is hard for us to keep up. Without having the regular food donations that come in each week from parishioners attending mass and having events like the Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive postponed, we were starting to be concerned about how we would keep our Food Pantry clients fed. But in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic and economic crisis the generous donations to the Food pantry have been solid proof that God’s loving providence is watching over St. James. Although we have not received “manna from heaven” God has provided canned goods, mac & cheese, boxes of cereal and all the things necessary to feed the hungry. One person even called the office to let us know, that because they were personally sound financially, that they would be using their stimulus check to help support the good work of the parish. In these trying times the goodness of God is being made visible through you. Thank You!

From Your Parish NurseFood Planning during the Coronavirus Pandemic During a pandemic, you may be taking extra precautions to keep you and your family safe and prepared, including making sure you have everything you need at home. This guide contains information on food planning, including what to buy, how much to buy, and preparation tips.

Check what you have at home first Take a look at the foods you already have in your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry before you make a list; make sure to look at expiration dates and best by dates. This can help you plan meals around what you already have, and will help you limit the number of trips to the grocery store and avoid spending money on items you don’t need.

Make a shopping list Shopping may feel more stressful at this time. Make a list ahead of time to stay focused, get the items you need, and keep your shopping trip short. Since stores may not have some specific items, create a list with general items like “fruit” or “bread.”

Explore your shopping options Many grocery stores offer in-store pickup, curbside pickup, or delivery. Third party options also exist for grocery store delivery. You may find these services helpful during times of social distancing. If you are older, check if your store delivers or has early shopping hours for older Americans only.

How much should I buy? Buy what you and your family need at this time, and resist the urge to buy in much larger quantities. Prepare a shopping list that will cover you and everyone in your household for 2 weeks.

Include fresh, frozen, and non-perishable items Plan for a mix of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable foods. Eat your fresh food first. Stock your freezer and pantry with items you can eat in the second week and beyond. During a pandemic, you may be taking extra precautions to keep you and your family safe and prepared, including making sure you have everything you need at home. This guide contains information on food planning, including what to buy, how much to buy, and preparation tips.

What foods should I buy? Choose a mix of shelf-stable, frozen, and fresh foods. Examples of shelf-stable include pastas, rice, legumes, nut butters, and dried and canned goods. Frozen options to think about might be breads, meats, vegetables, fruits, and even milk. With fresh foods, buy a variety in

quantities that you would normally buy. Remember to include the special needs of all family members, including pets, infants, or those with dietary restrictions.

What should I make? While everyone is home together, you may feel inclined to try a new recipe or experiment with new flavors to keep things interesting. For others, sticking to simple items or familiar foods and tastes provides comfort. Plan what works for you and your family.

Access to food while school is closed Many school districts across the country are continuing to provide meals to students in need during school closures. Check for local programs in your area, such as Meals to You. Contact your local school to learn about meals that may be available through pop-up food systems, grab-and-go meal pickups, or school bus routes.
