Bishop Peter Baldacchino of Las Cruces, New Mexico is reversing his previous decision to ban public Masses due to the coronavirus pandemic and will allow Masses to resume, with restrictions.
On this episode of the "Inside the Vatican" podcast, Archbishop Roche joins Colleen Dulle for a special Holy Week interview on the Vatican’s response to rapidly changing liturgical needs around the world.
In his Palm Sunday homily, Pope Francis noted that "Jesus says to each one of us: ‘Courage, open your heart to my love. You will feel the consolation of God who sustains you’.”
“In these days, during which the whole world has been gravely stricken by the Covid-19 virus, many requests have come to be able to celebrate a specific Mass to implore God to bring an end to this pandemic.”
