Gradually, eternal Rome begins to resume its vital rhythm, after two months, more or less, in which the confinement in the homes and the restrictions to the urban and regional displacements marked the compass of the sanitary emergency that was determined as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.
On staggered dates, starting on May 4, 2020, the Italian government has granted the restart of various activities that were paralyzed. The process will continue until the first weeks of June.
Among the activities that have started again, we can point out the celebration of Holy Mass in the temples of Italy.
After the signing of a Protocol between the Italian Episcopal Conference and the government of the Italian Republic, to apply the latest Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers, on May 18, 2020 the doors of the Italian churches could be reopened, so that the faithful can participate in the Eucharist daily and commune with the Body of Christ in a sacramental and immediate way.
Of course, the appropriate measures of distance between people must be taken into account, the building’s capacity to accommodate a number of faithful who do not produce crowds, wear masks and gloves, alcohol and the like. This new stage of activities began in our Basilica of Sant’Andrea della Valle, establishing in common agreement with the parish to which we belong, San Biagio e San Carlo ai Catinari, that Holy Mass will be celebrated at 7:00 p.m. h. For now, the response of the faithful was more than acceptable.
In this regard, it should be noted that beyond the opening mass, the first day of opening, on Monday, May 18, at 5:00 p.m., the ambassadors of different Latin American countries, accredited to the Holy See, to offer the Eucharist for your nations and for the whole world.
May the Lord continually renew our ecclesial communion, to be faithful witnesses to the unity of his Mystical Body!!!
