As many of us are practicing social distancing, we’re confronted by the things right in front of us. For me this brings to mind this line from The Little Prince, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.”

This line shows us that while we’re preoccupied with statistics and never-ending news cycles, what’s most important is what’s right in front of us: Our communities, our families, and our God.

Snippet from the Show

“It’s hard to make sense of everything that is happening, and yet we believe that the God who made the stars made each and every one of us individually.”
