    Online Resources

    During this time of pandemic, how do we handle the anxiety that sometimes overwhelms us?  How do we gain the peace Jesus promises to us and His disciples?  How do we learn to place our trust in the Lord?  First, we should never be afraid to admit to God, ourselves and others that we are struggling with anxiety.  Pretending everything is ok makes it extremely difficult to heal our hearts.  Second, trusting in God despite our anxious and doubtful feelings can often be a more powerful and profound act of trust.  Thirdly, we pray!  We need to make time and spend time with the Lord, even if just in silence.  And lastly we need to make good use of all the resources at our disposal.  Our Nativity BVM Staff has assembled this list of online resources for you during this stressful time.  We will be updating it often.
    Hopefully it will empower you to be able to let go into the loving and reassuring arms of our Heavenly Father.  Remember God is always with us!  ​We are His beloved sons and daughters
    !       
    Peace be with you, Fr. Bell
