Dear Brothers and Sisters,
2020 is behind us. As we look forward to a better 2021 we are still under restrictions due to Covid-19. Christmas and New year’s gatherings drastically increased the rise of positive cases. Sadly a good number of inpatient and irresponsible citizens did not respect the guidelines of the medical experts and now we are paying the higher price. We must continue to respect and protect ourselves and the well being of others.
Our prayers have been for the entire medical field but we also must remember to pray for people who are not at the forefront of the virus: the workers in our grocery stores, gasoline stations, postal offices, drug stores, truck drivers, waste and recycle personnel, police officers, firemen…
They are super essential to our everyday lives and if the occasion arises thank them for their courage and kindness.
In Christ,
Fr. Ryszard

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
2020 está detrás de nosotros. Mientras esperamos un 2021 mejor, todavía estamos sujetos a restricciones debido a Covid-19. Las reuniones de Navidad y Año Nuevo aumentaron drásticamente el aumento de casos positivos. Lamentablemente, un buen número de ciudadanos hospitalizados e irresponsables no respetaron las directrices de los expertos médicos y ahora estamos pagando el precio más alto. Debemos seguir respetándonos y protegiéndonos a nosotros mismos y al bienestar de los demás.
Nuestras oraciones han sido por todo el campo de la medicina pero también debemos recordar orar por las personas que no están a la vanguardia del virus: los trabajadores de nuestras tiendas de abarrotes, gasolineras, oficinas postales, farmacias, camioneros, residuos y reciclaje. personal, policías, bomberos …
Son súper esenciales para nuestra vida cotidiana y si se presenta la ocasión agradecerles su coraje y amabilidad.
En Cristo,
Padre Ryszard
