Mass is not canceled. The congregation, not the mass is suspended, this article says. Every mass is valuable for the whole world, and masses are still

“One diocese had in big letters, ‘All Masses will be canceled throughout the diocese of [redacted] from Tuesday March 17…’ This was odd as the next line was about how they would be live-streaming Masses from a parish and the cathedral, thus indicating Masses were celebrated without a congregation”

“Many priests celebrate Mass without a congregation with some frequency. Each priest should try to say Mass daily”

I would presume the wording of that announcement left out the words “public participation in” between “All [public participation in] Masses will be canceled…”. Ppl make mistakes, hmm?

It would’ve been nice if live-streaming could have been prepared for in my parish. As it was, we pretty much just watched the re-run of the early Mass on EWTN, though I got up early enough to watch the live broadcast. DH, a convert doesn’t understand how we can participate in the Mass, even though it is a re-broadcast. Made me sad; I offered it up.

I also decided to read religious material in print and on the internet today.

How did anyone else keep holy the Lord’s Day?

I wish that everyone would read this. And that all would place obedience to Christ via our shepherds over and above personal desires.

Besides watching the EWTN morning Mass with my wife, I postponed kitchen chores until after sundown, except for making breakfast.
