Reflection:

1. Have you felt powerless against all the elements over these weeks of quarantine?

2. Would you give yourself to be transformed by the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ for your life today and for your eternal life?

3. When reflecting on your life how patient has the Lord been with you? The Scriptures promise patience to us from God and from ourselves. How has your patience been stretched recently? Pray now for those particular people and circumstances that the power of the Resurrection will work in each of them.
