In today’s gospel, Jesus reveals our integrity and character as essential disciples in his kingdom, and what we can become in the world today. He describes us as: “You are a treasure buried in a field which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field!” (Mt 13:44)

Governor Newsom’s order is for us to “shelter in place.” There is only one letter difference between the instruction to “Shelter in place” and “Sheltering place.” That letter is “g!” “God” begins with a letter “g”. You add the letter “g” in to “Shelter in place,” and it will read “Sheltering place.” God is our “Sheltering place.”

Regretfully, the COVID-19 situation has not improved within the state. As of today, the Governor has once again closed all Houses of Worship and the Diocese has returned to the operational protocols that were instituted in March of 2020.

Now, immersed in these challenging times of COVID-19, let’s cultivate our hearts to be the rich-soil-sacreddwellings of God’s Word. And God’s Word changes us to be the best version of ourselves; that is: our eyes see the best in the drifters; our hearts forgive the back stabbers, and our ears become bionic ears and listen to the stone-hearts, and with understanding melts them to become hearts of love.

Jesus is sensitive of our personal needs, and very concern of our spiritual desires, so he tells us today: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart… my yoke is easy and my burden light.”
