 Dear Friends in Christ Jesus;
 
The Essence of Christian life is giving.  The Bible says that God is the giver.  The word “give” is used over 1,500 times in the Bible.  But when we look at what Jesus has to say and what Paul has to say, we discover that Jesus was much more interested in our attitude for giving than the amount of our giving.  In other words, He was much more interested in why we give, not how much.  He’s much more interested in the quality of the giver instead of the quantity of the gift.  Jesus looks at our motive for giving.  Giving is a responsibility.  But more than that, it’s an opportunity.  I want to share with you three reasons why we’re to give.  First, our giving is the response for what we had received from God in the past.  Second, it’s to be a response for what God is doing for me in the present and third, it’s to be a response for what God will do for me in the future.  So, dear friends giving to the church or to our fellow being is an opportunity to give to God. Hence, let us give to God that he may multiply us with his blessing.
 
God bless you and your family.
Fr. Robinson

Decree Suspending the public Celebration of Mass and Enacting Other Measures

JOSEPH EDWARD STRICKLAND
BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE APOSTOLIC SEE
BISHOP OF TYLER
[sic]  .

Resuming Liturgies While Facing COVID-19

Based on the guidance from the Office of the Governor, the celebration of liturgies with the people may resume in the Diocese of Tyler on May 1, 2020, provided that health protocols and other measures are observed in order to protect the vulnerable and mitigate the risk of resurgence in our communities. Taking proper precautions to protect others is a Christian obligation of both justice and charity

The coronavirus remains a highly contagious disease. We know now that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to others by infected persons who have few or no symptoms. Even if an infected person is only mildly ill, the people they spread it to may become seriously ill or even die, especially if that person is 65 or older with pre-existing health conditions that place them at higher risk. Because of the hidden nature of this threat, everyone should rigorously follow the practices specified in these protocols. The virus that causes COVID-19 is still circulating in our communities. We must continue to observe practices that protect everyone, including those who are most vulnerable.
