The Inner Work During a Quarantine

So many people I know have said that nothing excited or new has happened to them during quarantine. If we only knew the exciting and new things Jesus longs to do in us whether we're in quarantine or not.

I know young people, older people, retired folks who are bored. No traveling, no dating, no mass, no gatherings, but this doesn't mean no Jesus.

More than ever we have time for daily prayer, daily mass (even if only virtually), daily rosary, daily divine mercy chaplet, and a whole lot of time to love the people we live with.

No, there may not be a lot of external activity, but the internal work of the Lord doesn't stop because of a quarantine.

Only our Father knows when this will all be over. Will you give Him your heart, your wounds, your mind, your plans, your surrender this quarantine? Will you let Him use this time to heal you, love you, and restore you?

Let us pray, Holy Spirit help me live out this quarantine in you, with you, and through you.
