Friday afternoon we learned that we will be re-opening for public Masses again next week. What we have all longed for will finally soon be here. This break from the norm for the last 91 days (since our last Mass and the schools shut down) has given me a lot to ponder. About what is essential in my life and what is not. I have had the privilege of continuing to attend Mass as part of the tech team live-streaming the Masses each day. So while my soul has been nourished by the body of Christ, I have dearly missed the community when we celebrate the Eucharist together. I look forward to seeing everyone who is ready to come back and I will continue to try to deliver online resources for those who are not ready to come back.
As we transition from being closed to trying to hold public worship in a pandemic, we will need everyone to take a role in making sure we do this safely and still making people feel welcome. We will all need to be flexible and accept that there are some changes that will be taking place until this pandemic is over. Everyone can help. What can you do?
For those of you who are ready to come back, I look forward to seeing you next week. For those of you who are not yet ready- we love you and pray that this pandemic ends soon so we can be together again.
