During
the Corona virus epidemic, I was sheltering at home. I prepared to watch the
Facebook live presentation of Easter Sunday Mass on my computer, which I found
a poor substitute for the real thing. I tried to make it more realistic by
putting out a small glass of wine and some unleavened bread, and lighting a
small tea light candle.
As I
sat down at my computer I noticed that the light on the candle I had lit was
very tiny, almost ready to go out. I looked at the time and saw Mass was just
about to begin; I wouldn’t have time to get another candle. About halfway
through Mass I happened to glance at the candle, only to see it was burning
normally. It continued to burn throughout Mass and went out by itself, just as
the Mass ended.
It was a message from God that even though
the churches were closed, God’s power is not bound by our circumstances.
