This coming Sunday, (May 3), is the 4th Sunday of Easter, traditionally known as Good Shepherd Sunday. The readings appointed for the day include Psalm 23 and the passage from John's Gospel (10:1-10) in which Jesus describes himself as the loving, faithful shepherd who will protect his sheep. Normally we don't think of our selves as being of need of protection. But these are not normal times. Reading Psalm 23, or any of the psalms, can provide comfort and reassurance when we are feeling nervous or uncertain.
Another way to ease nervousness is to do something for another person. Write a note, make a call. Or if you are financially able, make a donation to an agency that is helping in the community. This Way of Love Easter calendar (from a church in Minnesota) has suggestions for each of the 50 days of Easter.
Have faith in God and love your neighbor.
All will be well.
