Our
brethren who are freed from this world by the Lord’s summons are not to be
lamented, since we know that they are not lost, but sent before; that,
departing from us, they precede us as travelers, as navigators are accustomed
to do; that they should be desired, but not bewailed; that the black garments
should not be taken upon us here, when they have already taken upon them the
white raiment there. –St. Cyprian of Carthage

Barron’s Word on Fire is offering a free booklet online for all- well worth the read.
The
COVID-19 pandemic has been, for countless people around the world, a
great and unexpected trial.
But for Catholics, this trial is not only economic, social, or
medical—it is spiritual. Plunged into a time of darkness and
separated from the sacraments and their parish communities, the
faithful are feeling isolated, disheartened, and uncertain about what
the future holds.
This free
eBook is an insightful and encouraging analysis of the
coronavirus, shedding light not only on the Church’s present moment
or similar crises of the past but also on the immediate future.
