We have heard how people complain that this Circui We have heard how people complain that this Circuit Breaker period has been difficult. They have nothing else to do but repeat the same old, same old routine each day and interact with the same people in the usual way. As people of faith, we might have had a different experience. We have found new ways to pray together, creative ways to share our lifestories, and more compassionate ways to care for each other. As hard and challenging as these times are, they are also graced moments. God has been refreshing our mindsets, renewing our spirits and re-energizing our efforts to do more good for all. Let's ask for the grace this week to let God continue to teach us to become better persons, especially to care for others.

Many of us are grateful for how we are getting by Many of us are grateful for how we are getting by during this Circuit Breaker time. Family and friends and their care and concern are among the many things we are grateful for. I wonder if we can do something more daily at this time -- practise being completely open to God's surprises throughout the day. Surprises that remind us that God is with us -- accompanying us, laughing with us, suffering with us, even standing with us in our confusion. This involves orientating our hearts toward the God of surprises. I think the American poet, Maya Angelou expresses this orientation so beautifully in this way: "This is a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before." I wonder how different it would be for us to go through the rest of the Circuit Breaker with this kind of an orientation towards God in life and faith? I am thinking of making this orientation more a part of my daily life and prayer. You might want to as well. If we do, let's pray that we will let God truly surprise us with his presence and be delighted with him.

It is in silence that we will best experience God’s presence and work in our hearts. By paying attention to God labouring in us, we will discover how God wants us to live our everyday life. Perhaps we can consider making this Circuit Breaker a graced time to ask God to show us how to live our primary vocation as holy people. How can we make use of our time at home to ask and listen? #catholicsg #courage
