Holy Mass at Saint Mary Magdalene Parish, Amadeo
If a photo can make you remember how it feels, then this is the photo I will choose. Last March 14th was the first day that I can no longer attend mass in our parish, due to the community quarantine, as we need to observe the importance of staying at home. I am in great dismay when the most important celebration is now limited to people. Now I feel a thirst that water cannot even suffice, a thirst for God's presence in the Holy Eucharist.
Fr. Alvin Chavez of Saint Mary Magdalene Parish
The present health crisis continuosly teaches us to be resourceful. The Catholic church recourses to technology by broadcasting live celebrations of masses, worldwide prayers, and even sacramental blessings. In every challenge like crisis as this, the universal church is ever supportive of our spiritual needs aside from the basic necessities. Sundays for me now are quite upsetting, I cannot celebrate the mass and sing my endless praise to God with my community. But I will always be looking forward to that day that I can come back to our parish and celebrate the great mystery of our faith, the Holy Eucharist.

Olá Francisco! I agree, that is very emotional and beautiful at the same time. Happy New Week!
DeleteHopefully the time will come sooner than we think when we can return to normal practices SQ. I feel sorry for people who had planned their wedding, and for people saying goodbye to loved ones.. weddings and funerals will be hard ✨
ReplyDeleteOh I cannot agree with you more Grace. My cousin got married a month ago and in a way its a blessing that they got married a month before all this happened. And funerals, will surely be heartbreaking :(
DeleteOur church conducts their services online but of course it's not the same. In these times, it will make people happy that they can still watch.
ReplyDeleteI very much agree Bill. Our parish also conducts live masses online every Sunday. You take care Bill!
