Quiet Storm by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II, 11 October 2020
Entierro in our Parish during COVID-19, 10 April 2020.
Lately I have noticed since month of August when we have a spike of the virus I have felt heavy and serious as Sundays have become more like a Good Friday with the streets and church seats both empty; nobody seems to be happy or Sundays have become more lazy? How I miss the people I always see wondering if they are safe and healthy or maybe so wary just like me. Sometimes I still feel how everything is surreal will I make it to next year enjoying life without fear?
I have been wondering if the Lord is still hanging or have they crucified him again? Life in the midst of COVID-19 has become more challenging listening to silence so deafening when God does not seem to be caring; but, deep within there is that calming during Good Friday that Easter Sunday is surely coming: keep on believing, keep on praying if Sundays look like a Good Friday this may only mean one thing, that Jesus is with us suffering COVID-19!
