We are aware of our sinfulness. Sometimes we feel guilt crushing us, its finger pointed to us like that of each of those who were accusing the woman in the Gospel. And yet, Jesus tells us that all is not lost. With Him, there is always hope. Stay the Course …Jesus’ glory was not of this world, he had told that crowd over and over again. This is not what he came for. Things change, and the same crowd that sings Hosanna yells “crucify him” a mere four days later. Our Fr. Mario Micallef, MSSP, is pastor of St. Paul the Apostle, challenge is to stay with him, to continue with the Toronto, the only Maltese national parish in North America. These “Pastor’s thoughts…” are extracts from his journey. His disciples fled. Those whom he had commentaries on the Sunday readings which are published personally chosen, through whom he had planned to in the Parish’s Sunday Bulletin. expand his mission, were too confused and too scared to witness what was happening. They just could not The Transfiguration handle it. “It is good for us to be here”. This was Peter’s Good Is Stronger than Evil spontaneous expression on Mount Tabor as he witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus. Peter, the most It is not easy to believe in the resurrection, that good spontaneous of them all. Peter, the one who always is stronger than evil. Perhaps, unfortunately, we are too spoke what came out of his heart, before processing it accustomed to bad things happening around us. through his mind. It is good, it is beautiful, it is Whether it’s in the news or in our family, it seems that wonderful. He could not help express his desire to keep bad things constantly happen everywhere. The enjoying the experience, as Jesus reveals himself for message of Easter does not deny this. His death was who he really is. real, and the power of evil was really at work. But what This is faith. This is faith, at least, as it is supposed to Easter tells us is that the story does not end there. “Why be. How often have we thought that faith is a matter of do you seek him amongst the dead? He is not here. He do’s and don’ts? How often have we been made to is risen!”. Indeed, there is life after death, there is hope believe that faith is a burden, rather than joy? In Jesus’ after disillusion. presence, Peter discovers that it is good, it is beautiful. The Need of Being Together in Community Our Journey It’s true, Jesus returns for the sake of Thomas. This As we move on in our own journey, God may show us reminds us of how important each and every one of us that we, too, have our own areas of darkness, our little is for Jesus. Do you remember that one lost sheep of masters that enslave us. With the help of prayer, and the parable? But then again, one could argue that strengthened by the practices of fasting and almsgiving, Jesus could have gone to meet Thomas wherever he Lent is the ideal time when we can experience our own happened to be on that Sunday evening. But no, exodus. With God’s help, we too can experience the Thomas had to experience the risen Christ when he movement towards a freer, happier, more fulfilled life. was with his community. It is there, while the disciples are gathered again the following week, that Jesus The Prodigal Son comes to meet Thomas. It’s as if Jesus wanted to remind Thomas – and, indeed, each one of us – that It would be a good idea if we tried to apply this story one can meet the risen, living Jesus only when one is to ourselves. Perhaps sometimes I am a bit like one of in communion with the rest of the community.

NCSL provides research, technical assistance and opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on the most pressing state issues, and is an effective and respected advocate for the interests of the states in the American federal system. Its objectives are: • Improve the quality and effectiveness of state legislatures. • Promote policy innovation and communication among state legislatures. • Ensure state legislatures a strong, cohesive voice in the federal system. The conference operates from offices in Denver, Colorado and Washington, D.C. NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF STATE LEGISLATURES © 2020 iii NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF STATE LEGISLATURES Many state legislatures took a break from the topic of immigration in 2020 as the pandemic and econom- ic crises created new priorities for legislative action. Exclusion of immigrant families and children from fed- eral COVID-19 and economic stimulus laws, however, led several states to respond with new state funding and community outreach. Examples include health care for immigrant seniors, tenant protections and extension of eligibility for pub- lic benefit during the pandemic. States also continued working on professional licenses for immigrants, re- gardless of immigration status. Virginia, with new Democratic majorities, became the latest state to enact driving privilege cards and in-state tuition rates for unauthorized immigrants and the creation of an Office for New Americans.
