It has been 57 weeks since "God Does Not Need Social Distance," the first edition of these weekly spiritual resources, was sent via email to the community. The pandemic is certainly not over, but as we look forward with hope to a more "normal" summer and Fall Semester, this will be the last edition of spiritual resources. You can find all 57 weeks of resources on our NeuReflections blog if you ever want to return to them. 

coronavirus prayerWe continue to pray for those affected by COVID-19, especially, now, for our sisters and brothers in India.

  1. Identify positives during the pandemic. 
  2. Recognize that you have been transformed. 
  3. Remember that "haste makes waste" (and that it will take time for new habits to form, or old habits to re-form). 
  4. Pinpoint emotions and desires. 
  5. Focus on those you love.
  6. Rejuvenate.
