I hope no one got offended, but I had to share a lighter side of this sad and scary situation, and a little sense of humor never hurt anyone. I am personally spending over 5 hours giving out communion to the residents of a Retirement Home which I’ve been serving for the last 4 years. Then I celebrate Mass by myself in my chapel, which the residents can watch on their Chapel Channel through a closed-circuit TV transmission, They are all locked in their individual rooms and see me as an angel visiting them. They all want to talk and hear the latest news. Most of them are oblivious of social media and may not even know what is going on. In fact today, after saying a prayer after each of the over 70 communions I give out, praying specifically that Coronavirus will not cause any more damage, one of the older ladies asked me so innocently “Who is Corona Father....is she a new carer causing trouble already?” First I smiled, then I cried.
