This is Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington. The delays, postponements, and cancellations caused by the coronavirus have caused disappointment, frustration, and even anger for many. Such frustration is to be expected when our lives are upended so dramatically. Ever so slightly we are adapting to a new normal, and regaining a sense of balance in our lives. But we learned a valuable lesson during these unsettling days. We learned that our plans, our dates, and our schedules are simply earthly timelines. Patience is an eternal virtue. Give God a chance to do His work. Allow Him to do it on His time. Be confident in your faith that He will make everything work out just right, as he transforms sadness to joy, darkness to light and suffering to glory, and He will do it right on time!
