The People’s Priest
Out and about on this cool Texas afternoon. Just a reminder that things are rough and it is valid to feel overwhelmed. ALSO…remember, you have the power to take a break and slow down.
You are sacred, therefore you deserve to rest in your sacredness.
You are loved, therefore, rest in love consciousness.
You are enough, therefore, stop pressuring yourself to strive to meet other people’s standards.
Enjoy this present moment; this sacred moment.
Love you!
Proud of you!
Peace and Good things,
Father Jerry

The People’s Priest
Remember to take a few moments today to care for yourself and your loved ones - near & far!
Send a kind text. Share some funny memes.
Remind one another to drink some water and to take medications or vitamins.
Community care is revolutionary!
Do not let your inner monologue of despair and fear, motivate you to give up.
You are stronger than you realize. And WE are stronger than we realize.
So, breathe….it’s a sacred, revolutionary act.
Big hugs to each of you and lots of love!
The work continues….
Proud of you!
Peace and Good things,
Father Jerry #ThePeoplesPriest
