A reflection of the feast of Corpus Christi, by the Rev. Terrance Klein

In discerning the necessity to avoid contagion in comparison with the need to offer access to the sacraments, it is necessary to comprehend what is at stake in each area.

Bishop Donald J. Hying of Madison, Wis., has openly disagreed with local government's pandemic advisory of limiting the number of congregants at Masses as interfering with "our pastoral mission."

What that community looks like these days has changed, most notably in the inability to gather to celebrate the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

Is God leading us into a desert, a sacramental wilderness because here he intends to speak to our hearts?

I was supposed to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil this year. But, like catechumens across the country, my journey was put on hold by the pandemic.
