When will we get our churches open to receive the Eucharist? TV Masses may be prayerful, but the essence and summit of our Christian faith is the Eucharist,
For this is the reason Jesus came to us in the first place – to be received. We stand six feet apart to get into the grocery stores (like Safeway, Costco, etc.), to get in the banks, post offices and many take-out pizza parlors, restaurants (Denny’s, etc.). So, why can’t we stand six feet apart to get into our church to receive our Lord and master?
The Liturgy of the Word could be heard from our cars in the parking lots and at the Liturgy of the Eucharist, people can be ushered 6 feet apart to go into the church or from an outdoor tent, to receive the holy Eucharist. If this can be done behind shields at the grocery stores, banks, post offices and many other places, then why can’t we do this for our parishioners, the people of God, to feed our souls. Is this rocket science? Peace.
