The prophet Jonah 3:1-5
‘Only forty days more and Nineveh is going to be destroyed.’ And the people of Nineveh believed in God; they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least. God saw their efforts to renounce their evil behaviour. And God relented: he did not inflict on them the disaster which he had threatened.
First letter of St Paul to the Corinthians 7:29-31
Those who have wives should live as though they had none, and those who mourn should live as though they had nothing to mourn for; those who are enjoying life should live as though there were nothing to laugh about; those whose life is buying things should live as though they had nothing of their own; and those who have to deal with the world should not become engrossed in it. I say this because the world as we know it is passing away.
Mark 1:15
The time has come’ he said ‘and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe the Good News.’
We now also for the sake of each other, need to make great sacrifices for the next 40 days to overcome this pandemic.

Charles Péguy (1873-1914) in Portal of the Mystery of Hope talks about Jesus’ crown of thorns, then writes of an alternate crown of supple budding branches, the crown of hope, he calls it. The crown of thorns marks the end. The branches have no use beyond pain and anguish, leading to death. The crown of hope still has life in it, hidden deep within, which can be coaxed out if tended carefully.
- This a very Christian hope and faith. We today also hope to coax out new life after this pandemic where we can meet each other again. God help us persevere and endure in hope, while caring for each other.
Thomas Merton's Prayer
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you and I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing.
And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road although I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death, I will not fear, for you are ever with me and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
