Letter to the editor : Struggling with pandemic Eucharist

Notes: "I have struggled with the meaning of the Eucharist when I am not able to be present and receive the sacrament during the pandemic. For me, the Eucharist is meant to be a shared, communal, participatory event. I can try to appreciate that much of what happens is to be understood as 'mystery' and that somehow Christ is still present to us 'spiritually'. This morning as I ponder its significance I am reminded that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that this is a matter of faith and belief. So although I am still struggling and not 'receiving' I am still 'believing'. I just wonder if anybody else is struggling". [Text of entire article.]
