Online Masses help priests
Online Masses help priests continue
to connect people to God
By John Shaughnessy
Father Chris Wadelton offered an interesting personal perspective
as the archdiocese and many parishes across central and southern
Indiana provide online Masses in response to the coronavirus crisis.
First, he acknowledged the challenge of not being able to celebrate
Mass with his parishioners in the pews.
“I don’t think I realized how much I feed off the energy of the people
during a Mass. When I am able to see people’s faces and their reactions,
I can see I’m making a connection, and that motivates me.”
At the same time, he said he has received “a lot of good feedback” from
people for the online Masses—five in English each week, three in
Spanish—that he has celebrated since March 18, the day when all
public Masses in the archdiocese were ended until further notice.
Father Todd Riebe has been pleasantly surprised that many people
taken advantage of online Mass opportunities during this time.
“It points to a hunger in people for spirituality and a desire for that c
onnectedness with God and with one another that parish life offers us,
” said Father Riebe, pastor of Christ the King Parish and administrator of
St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, both in Indianapolis.
“It doesn’t matter that the quality of our online services will most probably
not win any Oscars for technical achievement. What matters is that it
brings us home to our parish. And we all know, ‘There’s no place like h
ome!’ I think an increased use of technology at the parish level will
be one of the blessings that will emerge from the present situation.”
Father Tony Hollowell shares an online Sunday Mass as the administrator
of St. Paul Parish in Tell City and St. Mark Parish in Perry County. He said
he misses the personal connection of celebrating Mass together with his
parishioners in church.
“It is a real loss, but even in the midst of that loss, the Mass is very
beautiful, because Christ remains truly present,” he said. Then he
added, “I have heard from others that it does give them a sense of
being connected, which in turn gives me a sense of being connected.”
While the coronavirus crisis has led to changing approaches in the Church,
these priests say the heart of their lives are still focused on two goals:
keeping their connection with their parishioners and keeping them connected
to God.
“As a parish, we are trying our best to remain connected with as many people
as possible, even if it is just a quick phone call, to let them know they are in
our thoughts and prayers,” Father Wadelton said. “This has been nice.”
Father Riebe views this time as an opportunity to find a new path of faith to
be there for others.
“When people ask me what I love most about being a priest, ‘people’ is always
at the top of that list,” he said. “We priests are blessed beyond measure as
people open their lives to us in the happiest of moments of their lives and in
most difficult of moments of their lives. Our days are literally filled with people.
“While the pandemic has necessarily closed some doors to us, it has opened
others. A good part of my day is now spent on the telephone, and sending and
to text messages and e-mails. By the middle of every day, I am recharging my
cell phone. Where there is a will, there is a way.
“In these days, only caller ID can protect parishioners from their pastors!” †

Besides, countries need to co-ordinate in protecting their rcitizens, providing social
security services, support packages, and maintaining supply chains to protect citizens

post-epidemic economic recovery plan, including strengthening intra-ASEAN trade,
promoting ongoing negotiations on economic co-operation agreements, implementing
economic stimulus measures, and improving the ability to cope with external shocks.

ASEAN member states’ efforts in responding to the pandemic from the first days.
The PM welcomed the countries that supported Vietnam's proposals, including the
establishment of the ASEAN COVID-19 Collaboration Response Fund, setting up
a reserve for medical supplies to meet urgent needs during epidemics and initiatives
to stage online drills for the National Defense on Emergency Epidemic Response,
developing a common ASEAN emergency response protocol for future epidemic
outbreaks, and setting up a Task Force of senior ASEAN information officials
against fake news.

Senior Thai Monk Offer...
Senior Thai Monk Offers a Buddhist Perspective on Dealing with COVID-19
The novel coronavirus pandemic continues unabated, disrupting
societies and communities, and impacting lives and livelihoods around
the world. As our day-to-day lives are inundated with news headlines
and media alerts elevating our stress levels, it’s all too easy to feel
helpless at the perceived scale of the crisis. Yet it is precisely during
such times that the Buddhist values of mindfulness, compassion, and
acceptance are most needed; when the Buddhadharma offers the means
to defuse and de-escalate, to recenter and recalibrate before fear and
uncertainty overwhelm our senses.
Venerable Phra Paisal Visalo, the abbot of Wat Pasukato, a Buddhist
monastery in Thailand’s Chaiyaphum Province, and a respected monk
of some 37 years in the Theravada forest tradition, offers a Buddhist
perspective on this turbulent situation, urging us to pause, take stock,
and consider some of the positive aspects and opportunities we can
draw from this time of crisis.

“In the past, we thought that we were winning against viruses because
we had developed antibiotics and vaccines that prevented diseases such
as smallpox, which have since disappeared. We also expect that polio,
tuberculosis and malaria will end, too,” Phra Paisal shared with Buddhistdoor
Global. “There are three important lessons that we can learn from COVID-19:”

An opportunity to understand and accept reality: We have to understand
that humankind will continue to live with infectious diseases in various forms.
In the past, we could feely used our hands to clean and touch our face, but
now we can no longer do so. Even if we need to, we have to make sure we
cleanse our hands thoroughly first. This mindful hand-washing helps to make
us more careful and, at the same time, gives us more opportunities to be
mindful in our daily lives, whereas in the past we might have taken many
things for granted, including touching our face as many as 15–20 times
an hour without even realizing it.

An opportunity to practice mindful living: News reports about conflicts
and armed fighting have taken a back seat to the coronavirus outbreak.
Even news about the US and Iran has stopped. In Thailand, reports on
the political unrest have also declined. Conflicts between the government
and opposition parties are being ignored by the people as their attention
is focused on COVID-19, to the point of driving them crazy.

We have to find a careful balance between carelessness and craziness.
We should be aware that the coronavirus is not the only dangerous virus
that is spreading in our society—even though COVID-19 harms our body. Fear is
also spreading, harming our minds and even impacting our humility, causing us to
become selfish and to look down on those who are infected.

also spreading, harming our minds and even impacting our humility, causing us to

We stock up on masks, alcohol, and other hygiene products, even though
they may not be necessary, especially for those who are not infected. Now
masks are out of stock throughout Thailand and are not available for those
suffering from tuberculosis, pneumonia, or influenza. The shortage of face
masks has serious repercussions as it means that caretakers and medical
personnel such as doctors and nurses do not have enough masks to wear
while they work. Warnings are being given to people who are not sick that
they shouldn’t buy and use masks. This demonstrates that COVID-19 itself
can be less harmful than the fear of COVID-19. Therefore, as well as
recognizing that we need to act to prevent COVID-19 from infecting our
body, we should also ensure that we prevent our fear of COVID-19 from
infecting our mind. Let’s support each other on both levels.

An opportunity to be generous and support each other: Let’s be thankful
for the countless people and groups who have been volunteering at hospitals.
We have heard stories that when COVID-19 began spreading in Wuhan, China,
many people began volunteering to support each other. These acts of selflessness and kindness included providing rides for nurses returning home to rest and then bringing back them to the hospital for work. Some volunteers drove all night long to serve those doctors and nurses so that they could have an opportunity to rest before continuing their work. Actions such as these may begin with one volunteer, but can quickly multiply as many more follow their example. These small volunteer activities can build up into a network sharing the volunteer spirit during times of crisis.

Thailand is a predominantly Theravada Buddhist country, with 94.5 per cent of the nation’s population of 69 million identifying as Buddhists, according to government census data for 2015. The Southeast Asian kingdom has some 40,000 Buddhist temples and almost 300,000 monks.
At the time of writing on 25 March, global novel coronavirus infections were reported to total 423,121, with 18,919 deaths so far confirmed, and 108,619 recoveries. The World Health Organization has previously estimated the mortality rate from the virus at 3.4 per cent, based on preliminary data, with the elderly and people with underlying health conditions considered most at risk. Thailand has so far reported 934 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and four deaths, with 52 recovered.
