In Data we Trust: Covid and the Limits of Control By Father Nathan Reesman

Dear Friends of Saint Mary’s Immaculate Conception and Saint Frances Cabrini Parishes: Those of you who watched or listened to any of my recorded homilies, especially during the Lenten season, heard me say early on that the world as we knew it before Covid 19 has passed away and that going forward all is going to be different.  I stated several times that God is making use of this situation to work on our hearts both as individuals and also as a world.  As we move into June, I still believe my earlier statements are accurate.  We now live, for a long time to come, in the world of Covid.  That will be true even if and when we do get a vaccine.  There is no such thing as a “reset” or “re-start” button on time and history.  No one goes back to where they were previously after passing through an event.  One emerges on the other side of it and is invited to consider what has been learned and what changed, or what needs to change, and one goes forward altered because of it.
