Fr. Jerry Orbos inspiring homily today included so many #hashtag- able quotes that I found myself writing this right after Mass finished. Lest I forget. Here were some of his inspiring words… 

When we transition to the new normal, we should remember the 4Ps we did during the various stages of community quarantine: Presence, Prayer, Participation and Peace. Look back, remember how these 4Ps served as well, when all else was not available.

God is with us Always, in All ways. He always leads us, in his time. It took 40 years for Moses to lead his people out of Egypt into the promised land of Israel, when the actual distance walking then and now, it would take just a few months. Because the promise was fulfilled, In God’s time. But God was with them always, in All ways.

Finally. The 3Ls: Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often. Fr Orbos also mentioned the Italian equivalent: Vivi Bene, Ama Malto, Rissi Spesso.


Inspiring isnt it?  Ispirando! (Italian for inspiring… )

Life need not be complicated. Covid-19 reminded us of that.

One more thing,  the smile alone is the true smile. Often, we smile so others will see. But when we smile alone, then we smile with God. He is always there.
