It is surely impossible to be devoted to Christ and not devoted to the Holy Eucharist -that can only be the case where one's faith in the Holy Eucharist is lacking.<br />God bless you and yours.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-44376616678430844252020-06-05T18:18:59.677+01:002020-06-05T18:18:59.677+01:00Thank you Father.

I am able to offer Mass on a good day but at a slow speed as my breathlessness is quite severe these days, but I keep thinking how much the world needs the graces even one Mass brings in. <br />Your charity of not wanting to put a priest at risk is matched by your faith I suspect, since there is an awareness in what you say that God has not limited Himself to the sacraments.It is always a central desire of every sound Catholic to receive the Last Rites, but if we are not in state of mortal sin we are already in the hands of God. We are alowed to exercise the virtue of prudence at a time like this and stay home as requested -I doubt it pleases God that we play footloose in these dangerous times. We are not all called to the holiness of the saints who braved plagues centuries past so as to tend to the sick... Yes, it is so difficult to Miss Mass, but if your heart is there and you are prevented by outside forces such as this virus, we can see ourselves as present in spirit. <br />God bless you and yours.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-69555445561595685452020-03-30T22:54:45.377+01:002020-03-30T22:54:45.377+01:00Thanks for commenting David.

It is good to read your blog again.<br />I have to admit to having a fear that I might die without receiving the Last Rites but I would not want a priest to risk his own life if I do succumb from the Coronavirus.<br />I am missing attending Mass so much and although I believe my parish church is open for prayer I am unable to get to it as I have promised my children (both adults) that I will stay in as I am in the at risk age group.
