May we who are merely inconvenienced
remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home remember those
who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for
our children when their schools close
remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips
remember those that have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money
in the tumult  of the economic market
remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country,
let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot
physically wrap our arms around each other, let us yet find ways to be the loving
embrace of God to our neighbors.  Amen.
 
Ask God to put people in your path in need of support.  It could be, as the Pope said, something as simple as a phone call or an e-mail.  Whatever you’re called to do, as that Nike slogan says, “Just do it.”

Dear St. Therese Parishioners,

As a way for us to come together in faith, prayer and action during a very stressful and divisive time in our Church and Nation, we will be doing a Lenten Rewind called: “40 Days of Prayer, Fasting and Penance for Peace, Unity and Healing”  beginning on September 23rd and concluding on November 3rd. If you are good at math you will realize that there are more than 40 days in that time period. That is because we are human and we may need a break at some point during this time.  I pray that this will be a blessing for our parish family and help us to be a witness to our wider community of our desire to bring our faith to a confusing and troubling time.  This is not intended to be partisan in any way, but rather to give us an opportunity to unite in our common identity as children of a loving Father.

Dear St. Thérèse of Lisieux parishioners,
 
If you are an older parishioner who would like someone to run errands for your household, or a younger parishioner who is able to help those in need, please call our parish office 423-476-8123.
 
Some of our more seasoned parish members may be understandably fearful of going out to do basic everyday errands (like go to the grocery store) and may not have anyone to help them.  We would like to compile a list of younger parishioners (you be the judge) willing and able to assist the older members of our community.  If you would like to help, please call our parish office and add your name to the list. 423-476-8123
 
   To all our senior members, you are treasured, and we want to serve you.  You are not forgotten.  Please contact our parish office if you need help with errands during this time 423-476-8123
