Please restore Mass and the Sacraments. "Take good care of your health because the health of the body is God's second gift. The first one is that of the soul." -Padre Pio Let us also take care of our souls.

The flock is in need of feeding, and is more than capable of maintaining adequate safeguards when given appropriate guidance during public liturgies.

Dear bishops go to St. Joseph, guardian and protector of the Church and opened the churches for the faithful to be near Jesus once again and obtain Mass so needed.

It is not difficult to offer daily Mass within the corona virus restrictions. For suggestions, go to http://oloas.org/2020/04/04/please-open-the-churches/

We need Christ through His physical Church -besides His Mystical Body. Why are people such sheep and not fighting for our basic right to go back to church? Please trust that each of us will be respectful of the social distancing. Those who are afraid will not have to go. The Church has allowed and been a champion of free will.So let us exercise our freedom.

I've come to realize that there are dioceses that leave public Mass up to the discretion of each Pastor. I urge our Bishop to do the same. Closing the public Mass is a spiritual deprivation to those who need it most. We do not close doctors offices when people start dieing. Closing the holy Mass is the spiritual equivalent of doing so. Please, please consider the Gospels. "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" --MATHEW 8:26 "Do not work for food that spoils; instead, work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food which the Son of Man will give you, because God, the Father, has put his mark of approval on him... 'I am the bread of life.' Jesus told them. 'Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty.'..."-- JOHN 6: 25-59 Please prayerfully consider this request. Vivo Cristo Rey!

Defend the faith! While safety is key, our political class will use this as an excuse to infringe on our God-given right to worship. As Bishops, you are first and foremost defenders of the faith (YOUR essential duty). Do not forget your duty!!

We ought to institute building capacity requirements that correspond to the size of the building and to be aware of the need for and recourse to places of worship among America's inhabitants.

Even a bishop cannot deny sacraments as that is Divine Law.
