Yes oh well! It is more important to prolong zoological life than to sacrifice oneself as a gift of love…
Whoever wants to save their life will lose it
I think this is also a pertinent quote:
[5] Then the devil took him with him to the holy city, he placed it on the pinnacle of the temple
[6] he said: “If you are the Son of God, thrown down, since it is written:
He will give orders to his angels regarding you,
and they will hold you up with their hands,
lest he hit your foot against a stone”.
[7] Jesus answered him: “It is also written:
Do not tempt the Lord your God”.

E’ doctrine and faith that if a priest celebrates a Holy Mass even without anyone present (in reality it would take at least one altar boy) that Mass is in any case of Christ and in any case has a universal value. But what is largely lacking today is precisely this announcement, loud and insisted and explained in all ways: “Faithful Christians, the priests are there and continue to offer the holy Sacrifice to God for you”. This message has passed very little, in the eyes of all Italians the totally prevailing message is that “Masses are suspended, the festive precept is not valid, lair free all”. Few and limited exceptions.
To be honest, having allowed myself to respectfully say these same things to a priest, I have been misunderstood, like one that “aims to”, it's worse. Others were different.
Certainly the disorientation is great.
Everyone reacts with their sensitivity.
The moment is serious. I think that no Bishop has been able to make his decision without great pain and suffering. Because in difficult moments, faith, regular attendance to the sacraments, prayer are even more indispensable for the believer. The faithful cannot live without feeding on the Body of the Lord. But the absolute emergency that overwhelmed us, for its peculiarity, it is forcing us all to the greatest possible isolation. And so, I understand it, in the face of strict provisions of the Government, what the Church had to do? Take responsibility for making other outbreaks of contagion very likely, when you see where you are going? How could it be, leaving the celebrations with the participation of the faithful, responsibly ensure compliance with the strict rules to be observed?
I agree, at this moment it is important to preserve unity with our Pastors and receive everything from the hands of God. The crucial moment requires it. It doesn't help to want to be more realistic than the king. I agree.

I link to Pax's comment and agree.
Of the “suffering” I don't really care much about the Bishops since I haven't attended the Church anymore since I realized that they don't care about my suffering, of which they were accomplices.
But I don't make a bundle of all the grass and I appreciate and thank God when I find words and actions of truth and wisdom, wherever they come from.
I find it an opportunity for priests to celebrate Mass without the people (temporary) very positive. To obtain Grace for all, as the video says, but above all for the priests themselves, that it increases their awareness of the effectiveness of what only they can do, for the benefit of all. It is above all the priest who must become stronger and stronger in the faith and I hope this is the case for priests at all levels of the Hierarchy., so that when the emergency ends they can correct in the Church what is not good for the Lord.
Yup, the crisis is 1 privileged moment .. how when Jesus took some disciples with him and took them to a high mountain, in a secluded place .. "Come and rest for a while" It is a rest that is work, And 1 sowing seeds in themselves and there is nothing to do to make the seed germinate except to refrain from activism and protagonism. This too is SERVICE to the flock for a Shepherd. On the contrary, it's the best service, that of good example.
So thanks to all of you, Shepherds who act like this .. who knows that you will not know how to make a day, the sheepfold welcoming even for the lost sheep.
