Suspension of the Sacraments of the Church…

At the end of March, the Dioceses of Saint Augustine Florida Bishop stopped all Masses, and all forms of the Sacraments of the Church to the lay people.  Churches where closed and locked down and the Priest were no longer to hold Mass, offer up the Host, hear confessions, etc.  Prior to this, in violation of Canon and Tradition, he stopped the ability to receive Communion by mouth.

These actions are very much in violation of God’s orders on His faithful, the Canon of the Church, and the Traditions of the Church.  In fact, in times past, when health or other issues and hard times came up the Priest of the Church INCREASED the availability of Mass and the Sacraments.  Priest historically have gone out of their way to provide to their “flock” and keep them in communion with the Church and God.

It saddens and sickens me that we have fallen to this level of giving up on God and not following His commands.  From the highest levels of the Church down.  And no one, at least local to me, seems to want to do anything about it.  This is VERY disheartening and not good for the People of God.

Much prayer is need by and for the Priest to get back on track and re-open the Churches and back to providing the Sacraments of the Church!

Take an example, for once, of the non-Catholic churches in California, they are opening up without permission and counter to the orders of their Governor..

In Christ

    Sunday is a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church.  What this means is you are "required" as part of being Catholic to go to Church every Sunday and "keep it Holy" by dedicating the day to the Lord. Here in the US, because many people started taking jobs…
