This year, in March, the world has put on hold. COVID-19 has caused a huge pause in our everyday life. We are on social distancing. Families and friends are separated unless they live in the same household, of course. Instead of strengthening our connections, friendships, and bonds, the dangerous virus forces us to separate.
We can’t meet, we can’t go shopping, hang out in the sun, enjoy spring… We cannot go to church, and even though the strict instruction to stay at home is not followed by far too many people… and the unexplainable grocery-hoarding some people are practicing make that time for the reasonable people very difficult.
But soon, it will be Easter, and I am not going to let this just fall under the table. I will be home, yes…. I will be all by myself, yes… but I will remember the basics of this holiday. That’s how I grew up. I will remember, I will pray, and I will be grateful for the man who sacrificed Himself on the cross – for me… for all of us.

Perhaps being isolated and unable to do all the secular things people do at Easter, like going to the coast or the park, they might reflect on the true meaning of this season.

I agree. We all know that certain people just know about the Easter egg hunt and the presents – and forget the meaning… and that the same people only start praying when they think it’s needed…

Without all the exterior celebrations, my prayer is that people will truly reflect on what our Lord did for them on this day we celebrate. Have a blessed Easter, AJ.

We know that nowadays people seem to forget the reason of these holidays.
