Scott Hahn, the founder of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology provides hope, especially during this coronavirus pandemic. He explains why we should not fear of death, and touches on God’s presence during this time of crisis.
Hahn says, “The greatest miracle that Christ could do is not simply to help us discover a vaccine and a cure, but to cure us of our own disordered fear of suffering and dying. This disordered fear of losing natural life, when in fact, what we ought to fear the loss of supernatural life.
“I think a lot of us are bewildered by what’s going on. Even if people saw it coming in January or February, nobody could really know what to expect. For the whole world to enter into a pandemic–for there to be a global shutdown–we are in the middle of history.”
“The thing that I believe is that we’ve got rock-solid grounds for hope, and we’ve got to seize it. We’ve also got solid grounds for fear, sadness, anger, anxiety, depression–you can hear in the news all about domestic abuse, alcohol abuse, and all of the things people are plunging themselves into.
“And you realize, when the light shines into the dark, it shines brighter, but it also reveals just how deep the darkness can be. For us, right now, we’ve got to hold up the light of the Body of Christ and the body that he has given us in the Eucharist and the body of ours that he will resurrect.”

Managing Faith And Fear During The Coronavirus Quarantine
Shelter Me by Jan Michael Joncas
A Prayer-Song in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic
This song / prayer was written by American Roman Catholic priest and liturgical composer, Jan Michael Joncas (b 1951) in late March 2020. It was composed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic which affected the world in late 2019 / early 2020. Copyright belongs to the Jan Michael Joncas Trust.
The text is a paraphrase of Psalm 23 (the Lord's my shepherd), especially the second verse which acknowledges the experience of “walking in the valley of the shadow of death.”
