Ask him if the phone can serve as a confessional. After all, we had the Rite of Reconciliation long before we had confessionals. I don't know of any liturgical or theological reason why it couldn't, but I am neither a liturgist nor a theologian.Arkanabar T'verrick Ilarsadinhttps://arkanabar.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-49451722944101092362020-04-07T18:30:04.788-04:002020-04-07T18:30:04.788-04:00This really strikes a chord.

I meant to give up Facebook for Lent, but never really did. But for a couple days last week and over the weekend, I took a break from all of the online opinions, and it was wonderful. I need to remember this, while at the same time trying to moderate my desire for information. On the other hand, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed my video conference rosary group and book club last week. I usually don't like facetime and other video calls, but these online group meetings really filled a need for conversation. Maybe desperation! But just seeing the faces of friends was uplifting.Emily J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01132106976424535611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-26581783708439788442020-04-07T10:57:41.466-04:002020-04-07T10:57:41.466-04:00I hear you!
My sanity has been a text group chat ...I hear you!<br /><br />My sanity has been a text group chat with 5 other moms from our (former) homeschool co-op, people for whose kid I have prayed for two decades. Part of what helps about it (aside from the fact that they are all Christians) is that it is a group. People have other needs than I do, different prayer requests, somewhat different perspectives; they are reading other things; the conversation is not the endless one-on-one. I have the option of not responding, and the benefit of seeing someone else respond. <br /><br />Even in NYC you can still make arrangements for going to confession. Are the churches there entirely closed? We don't have mass, but the church is open for adoration each day. Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668252458131596362noreply@blogger.com
