The Global Pandemic and Our Spiritual Response – Building a Kingdom of Love with Msgr. John Esseff Podcast

Esseff Spiritual Direction podcast discerning hearts

Msgr. Esseff addresses the global pandemic of the coronavirus and COVID-19.  He offers wise spiritual counsel to guide us through the uncharted waters lay before us.  This day many will not be able to go to church and receive the Eucharist.  What does that mean?  What can your response be to this moment?  This is an opportunity for this madly extroverted world of ours to STOP, turn around, and encounter in contemplation God who is before us waiting.

  2. This is such a special time our loving Father has given us. The opportunity to remind us of who we are. His children . To remind us of His promises . The 91 st psalm says no sickness or disease will come near us or our tent . I am so grateful to God for His constant care of us . And YES to remember to rest in Him in all we do. Everything . All we have to do is remember Him. Amen
