Sometimes gifts don't look like blessings, but they can be. The same goes for this unwelcome, unexpected, and intimidating guest… maybe it's a curse, maybe a blessing.

The world is silent for a moment, the industrial giant is silent, all people are the same again, both big and small, trembling with the same fear at the unknown ...

They say that you can finally see the sky over Italy and that Italians are socializing, meeting and loving their neighbors, the balcony walls and glass windows are no longer obstacles. There will no longer be silence in rooms and elevators. The whole Christian world is praying together for the same thing. Families finally meet, share with each other, socialize and pray out loud, and suddenly there is plenty of time. The virus also slows down times.

What's the rush? Can't you see how small and helpless you are compared to something much smaller than yourself? - What are you doing with yourself while your days have been counted as the hairs on your head?

Stop and listen to the silence, go back to your roots and pray to God. You feel desperate fear for your body, but as for your soul, how are you preparing it?

Some gifts do not seem like blessings to us, but they are… Open your eyes to see how a small unknown particle changes your world, and Someone above is seeing everything, and what do you think, smile?

I greet you all and, with your heads held high, pray to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Greetings and united with you in prayer!
