Being kind to each others, as well as ourselves, is a way to bring the light of Jesus into our lives during what seems to be dark times of pandemic, a Detroit-area Catholic high school administrator shared on Facebook.

"These spring days are getting longer and longer," Loyola High School Business Manager Therese Marz said during the high school's May 6 morning prayer posted in a video to the Loyola High Facebook page.. "We have over 12 hours of daylight. And yet many of us feel like we're living in darkness. This pandemic has forced us into isolation, has forced us to change our comfortable routines so that we have to work and learn from home."

Millions have lost their jobs and tens of thousands have lost loved ones to COVID-19 in the U.S.

"So it's difficult to see the light that Jesus brings," Marz said during the morning prayer that was a meditation upon the Gospel of John 12:46.

Marz suggested the solution may be to remember who we are.

"As people of faith, maybe what we need to do, if we don't see that light, we need to make that light," she told Loyola High. "We need to do as Jesus did and bring light to others – and to ourselves – by serving the people around us."

That can be done by reaching out to others, sending a text or making a phone call "to someone from school or work," Marz said in the Loyola High Facebook video.

"Or maybe we just need to offer a smile or a kind word with people we're stuck with in our homes," Marz told Loyola High. "By bringing light to others and to ourselves, we will experience that love that Jesus talked about, the love that each one of us needs to brighten our days."
