This one act play shows what prayer can be for all of us Christians. Not that we necessarily audibly hear God’s voice, but if we give him space and time in our routine , these thoughts of truth and love can be presented to us, especially if we’re honest with him about what we’re thinking and feeling.

Archbishop Kurtz is restoring the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation effective the weekend of September 4-5, 2021. Those parishioners who are ill, immunocompromised, or have severe fears or anxiety as well as those who care for those who are ill are always exempt from this obligation. (See Catechism of the Catholic Church #2181). Parishioners also may exercise prudent caution about Mass attendance for those who cannot be vaccinated, such as children under the age of 12. The Archdiocese has produced a series of videos that deal with themes of invitation, obligation, and the centrality of the Eucharist in our lives as Catholics (see below!).
