This, Too, Shall Pass

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I said and have my cup of coffee and with Jesus this morning, I was reflecting on the phrase, “This, too, shall pass!”.  I know that things sometimes seem to be getting worse.  Work and family have to adjust as life changes, but one thing that is consistent is Jesus Christ!

Everything else in our life will come to an end.  One problem will come and it will end, and then another one will come and it, too, will end!  The goal is to persevere in Christ, reminding ourselves daily that He is in charge.  And to remind ourselves to be careful that we do not just focus on the end, but realize the real lessons come from the process.  Day by day, moment by moment, lessons come for us to learn about LOVE.

So, today I am ready for a NEW day.  Some things today will come to pass, and others will linger, but I will hold close to Jesus Christ and enjoy the journey.  

Have a blessed day!

Buon Giorno Monsignor As many are currently affected financially and/or emotionally by illness and death due to this darn covid virus, your phrase, “this too shall pass,” gives me hope. We may feel it’s this black plague which has permanently carved a home in our world. You are correct, “problem(s) will come and will end, … the goal is to persevere in Christ.” May we all look for the beauty in each person we meet, to love our family unconditionally and make them feel God’s love for them through us. anche questo deve passare Blessing Monsignor

Helia Corral called me this afternoon and told me that Rosewood Senior Adult Living is on lockdown again due to residence coming down with the Covid virus and other viruses. We were supposed to meet on Tuesday for coffee and to talk, but that has been put off due to the outbreak!..........This too shall pass! Great message, Msgr. Craig! I'm leaving this in God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirits hands!!!!!! Amen and God Bless Everyone!
