To Keep People safe in Church
Two articles that remind us of the huge responsibility there is on all church members to ensure they are not risking life or health when re-opening after lockdowns.
An Irish Times story about a Dublin church being forced to close after ignoring regulations also covers the comment by Archbishop Martin of Dublin about the need to respect the sacrifices made by so many.
“The current public health policy has required sacrifice on the part of all of us. People have accepted that. I think of those who have had to bury a loved one without the normal process of grieving, with funeral rites limited to a bare minimum. We must show respect for those whose sacrifice has been greatest.
Public health policy will only work when its proposals and sequencing are fully respected by all. There is no room for self-dispensation from or self-interpretation of the norms. Jumping the queue by individuals or communities puts everyone at risk”
In another articleMichael J. O’Loughlin of americamagazine.org interviews a man we have become familiar with on our TV news programmes, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
““There have been situations in multiple countries where the source of the cluster was a church service,” he said. “That’s the reason why we gotta be so careful about that.”
As a result, even if churches are open, the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions should consider staying home, “because they really are at high risk,” he said. “It would be so tragic for someone who just comes to a place of worship, gets sick themselves, or gets infected and brings it home to an elderly person who might have a compromising comorbidity, and the person gets seriously ill and dies.”Young Mr. Newman – St. John Henry Newman

Seán.
That was very moving. ‘The mother giving him the elbow.’ ‘Best of all, the woman at the well.’ ‘Sidle up to him. My face against his shoulder.’ ‘Ne’er a word.’ ‘But will it work? Will it what?’ ‘Limitless love. All you need is a heart and a nudge.’ Seán. It was lovely to eavesdrop on your reflection. Yes. It did remind me of listening in to Andria Bocelli’s reflection on horseback. I cringe when people use the following words all the time: Awesome. Amazing. Stunning. But in your case, these all apply completely.
