This episode was recorded before we understood what the coronavirus was. Before school closings. Before social distancing. Way before Pope Francis’s Urbi et Orbi blessing and message.
We share this information because of the surprising relevance this episode carries, right down to the Gospel passage on which Pope Francis reflected last week. We hope you are encouraged, inspired, and lifted up by the hand of our God over this conversation.
Val Kelly is a daughter of God, wife, and mom, as well as a co-founding team member of You, Me and NFP. Her quote comes from her husband, Brendan. It’s a prayer he has often prayed when the couple needs to rely on God and trust in the faithfulness of Christ.
“God you have never failed us in the past and you will not fail us in the future.”
Val also calls on Mark 4:35-41:
“On that day, as evening drew on, he said to them, ‘Let us cross to the other side.’ Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’ He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, ‘Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?’ They were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?’”

Do you have a question that you’ve always wanted to pose to a priest? Today is your day!
Questions Covered:
- 02:43 - I have noticed that lectors and altar servers at Masses being streamed online are not receiving Communion at those Masses, only the priests are. Why is that?
- 07:12 - Why is it wrong to sprinkle a person’s cremated ashes in the wind?
- 14:31 - In Colossians 1:24, St. Paul speaks about what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ. What does he mean?
- 18:24 - How can I get things blessed without a priest available to do it?
- 22:20 - Are there certain prayers that are strictly meant for only priests to say?
- 24:12 - Can a divorced person receive Communion?
- 30:16 - I had a knee replacement and they offered to give me my knee to bury with me someday. I said no and they threw it away. Is that a sin?
- 32:33 - Is the Pope telling people to just confess to God or are people still meant to confess to priests?
- 44:23 - The catechism says, the sacrifice of the Eucharist is also the sacrifice of the members of His Body. What does this mean?

Do you have a question that you’ve always wanted to pose to a priest? Today is your day!
Questions Covered:
- 14:35 - I was atheist for most of my life and am struggling to transition into being Catholic now, in that, it is difficult to talk about. How can I better express my faith in words? It feels strange to have faith after declaring not to for so long.
- 24:23 - What is invincible ignorance? Could my brother, who was raised Catholic, but fell away, still be saved?
- 32:31 - My husband left me 7 years ago. I got an annulment. Am I supposed to tell my husband that I forgive him? Can I just forgive him in my heart and let it go?
- 36:55 - Is it untoward to contact a priest during this time and ask to sit in on their private Mass?
- 45:22 - What are your thoughts on the suspension of the Mass?

Surely He hath borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him.
Isaiah 53:4-5

Nothing (read not even the coronavirus pandemic) will separate me from the love of Christ.
The words of Paul. A hymn. An affirmation. A credo. Nothing at all, neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39.
Right now, under the barrage of overwhelming media coverage of the pandemic, you probably feel that nothing could separate you from COVID-19. Not government pronouncements, hand sanitizer and disinfectant, stockpiles of toilet paper rolls, not even prayer could free us from the inexorable march through the world of this pandemic. Mounting fear leads to panic. We do things that in life under normal circumstances we are sure we wouldn’t do.
Julian of Norwich offers another way of understanding Paul’s sentiment. Julian of Norwich, known for her Revelations of Divine Love, was an English anchorite and mystic. Her 16 “showings” are related to the passion of Jesus Christ. She lived in the fourteenth century.
Julian was no stranger to suffering, which she saw as a channel through which God could draw us closer to himself. The line most popularly quoted from her writings is this: “All shall be well, all shall be well, every manner of thing shall be well.” Julian could believe that all would be well, because divine providence brings good even from sin, even from evil, even from disaster. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ!

Who is to blame for the lack of preparation for and response to the coronavirus? A lot of people are asking those questions, and everyone has an opinion. I don’t. I think that asking who is to blame is the wrong question. In this edition of By Your Life we encourage taking responsibility not placing blame.

Can you imagine a life without second chances? I think we would cease to live. Everything we ever have succeeded at in our lives, from walking to riding a bike to making and delivering products and services, has been the result of failing and trying again. So why is it so hard for us to give others a do-over? In this week’s episode of By Your Life, we explore the benefits of offering someone a second chance.
