United as One for Mass
As we gather again to be joyfully present for the celebration of Mass, each of us is
asked to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. During this transitional
time, we are asked to follow precautions made as we are called to make decisions to
honor each life given to us by God, and we are called to respect the human
dignity of all life. Please be in prayer as you consider the following:
Spiritual Fasting
Be especially aware of those members of our church who will be absent during this time of limited capacity to
gather for Mass, due to social distancing and high-risk health conditions. Our solidarity with those who cannot be
physically present is essential during this time. Those who are unable to come to worship and experience the
Sacrament offer their experience as a type of fast. “Such fasting—[Pope Benedict the Sixteenth writes] could help
people toward a deepening of their personal relation to the Lord in the Sacrament; it could be an act of solidarity
with all those who have a yearning for the Sacrament but cannot receive it…Spiritual hunger, like bodily hunger
can be a vehicle of love.” Indeed, the times when we are separated from Christ’s Sacraments can be opportunities
for unnumbered graces.
Sign of Peace
The exchange of Peace before the reception of Holy Communion acknowledges that Christ whom we receive in
the Sacrament is already present in our neighbor. This gesture expresses the Gospel truth that communion with
God in Christ is enjoyed in communion with our brothers and sisters in Christ—we are members, one with
another, in the Body of Christ. While the Sign of Peace will be omitted for the time being, we are all invited to
pray for the peace of Christ to reign in our hearts and in the heart of every person. Perhaps nod or smile at your
neighbors physically present at Mass, and pray for those unable to be at Mass in person.
Dispensation
It has been truly difficult for us not go to Mass during this time of the
pandemic. Participation in Mass is a testimony of belonging and of being
faithful to Christ and to his Church, and we have an obligation to attend
Mass on Sundays. This obligation is total gift and should not be a burden.
Archbishop Schnurr has given dispensation from Sunday obligation of
Mass until further notice.
