Fr. Jim Nadeau - COVID-19 & Our Lenten Journey
This year, we are all taking on a fourth penance, in addi-
tion to the traditional prayer, fasting, and almsgiving; the
penance of disruption. God grant us, the serenity to ac-
cept the things we cannot change; the courage to
change the things we can and the wisdom to know the
difference.
Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDNXK5iiCxM to
view: “Anti-Fragile Faith” - a video of a talk given by Fr. Mike
Schmitz at a recent convention.
Excerpts from: “CORONA COVID-19: A TERRIBLE BLESSING
FOR US ALL. An American Perspective”
“God works in his mysterious ways his wonders to perform.” This is
something that Catholics have always understood. And throughout
Western history they understood that those mysterious ways often
were in the context of suffering and death. They understood that
God does not cause suffering and death, but there are times in
which mankind is so obtuse, usually because of pride, that the only
way to wake us up is by shock therapy. Of course, when mankind
has forgotten the existence of a real God who cares and loves and
therefore allows chastening, and has instead embraced a teddy bear
God that is in their own image, then God has to act, and he acts to
shock us from our self-centered stupor to call us back to reality, the
reality of the world as it is, the world of sin and death that demands
love whose basis is self-sacrifice. And he does so not by inventing
ways to punish us but rather to allow fallen nature itself to shock us,
to force us to remember our Christian faith, and for me and for so
many, to remember our Catholic faith that comes to us from the
Apostles.
In these times even the Catholic Church, for which Mass on Sunday
is an obligation, in many dioceses in this country has, in this time of
national crisis, relaxed this obligation and even, in many instances,
has suspended all public Masses. There are those, myself included,
who initially reacted to this suspension in a negative way. But I have
come to a clear conclusion that this suspension of public Masses,
though a terrible deprivation in a real way, is for the good of the
Church as well as society . . . in that the chief way of stopping the
spread of the virus is self-isolation. The virus cannot spread if people
are not in contact. That this self-isolation comes at great cost to so
many institutions and people is painfully obvious. . . Uncharted terri-
tory indeed. But it will be in this uncharted territory, if it is lived and
supported by the great majority of people, that we will find the
means of the cleansing of both the terrible divisiveness that marks
our society and also of the terrible forgetfulness of so many Catho-
lics as to what their faith is about: namely, the Cross and Resurrec-
tion of Jesus Christ, the basis of our faith.
Can it be that in this uncharted and painful territory that we will again
regain the sense of family and friendship? Can it be that in a painful
world in which there is no Mass that Catholics can attend, a world in
which no one receives Holy Communion, a world in which the Sacra-
ments are not part of the “scene” of what it means to be Catholic,
can it be that in this terrible deprivation that there will come forth the
joyful and awe-ful reality of the Sacraments and of the Catholic faith
in a rediscovery of the beauty and wonder and truth of the Catholic
faith? ‘God works in his mysterious ways his wonders to perform.’”

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
“My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the
most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all
things and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace
You as if You were already there, and unite myself
wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated
from You. Amen.”
