This will probably be my last "live" Flocknote message before my retreat.  Before I start my retreat I will write four messages and schedule them for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.  I already wrote Tuesday's message, our day for intercessory prayer.  Wednesday will be devoted to the Assumption of the Blessed Mother.  Monday will include a summary of how Confirmation and Sunday Masses went.  Friday might be devoted to St. Maximilian Kolbe.  Whenever you're not sure what to say, look to the saints.

     I haven't written this in several weeks, but you can visit https://dioceseoftrenton.org/faith-at-home each week for ideas about how to live your faith at home and celebrate Sunday with the Lord.

     Likewise, you can get the readings for Mass each day at https://bible.usccb.org/   You can listen to them as a podcast, read them in Spanish, and/or get them by e-mail.

     For daily readings and meditations, visit https://wau.org/ 

     COVIDActNow.org has returned both New Jersey and Ocean County to yellow status.  I'm pleasantly surprised by this quick turnaround.  The coronavirus is "spreading in a slow and controlled fashion."  Let's continue to persevere in being prudent.

God love you,

Fr. Jim
