15TH March 2020 “KEEPING THE FAITH”

At the moment we are in the middle of LENT for 40 day and nights. Lent is due to end on Mundy Thursday the 9^th April 2020.

During this 40 Day time period many of use think about things that we can give up, like chocolate, tea, coffee or eating out. The last thing on any ones mind was going to be having to give up human contact.

Unless you are thinking of the film 40 days and 40 nights with Josh Hartnett. https://youtu.be/oMDXmDOyWE8

So what should we do?

What can we do in your to “KEEP THE FAITH” and worship in a way that is still personal to your self?

On the BBC Breakfast this moring they talked about worship and how during 2020 ways of worship have got to change, so physical contact is a no, no at the moment.

Other things that may happen in the future so that you may no be able to take holly communion, but nothing on the news talked about only the Catholic and Christian faiths.

What about other faiths and communities hoe are they dealing with these new health guidelines and moving forward?

If it is around pray, then you can pray any where you do not have to go to a holly place of worship in order to do this.

But what is you are chose to go to a place of worship of other reasons, like confession, religious events like marriage, funerals, christenings. Will all of these stop?

The church and many other holly places for worship are also still very much the Heart of the religious and of every day life for many, Offering food and Aid to the general public despite many holly place of worship closing down due to lack of foot fall and lack of community spirit

So what can we do?

The answer is still pray and worship and to not get discourages or disheartened. Just because local and social functions and meetings may have to be suspended for a time. They have not been yet, so go to your Lent Groups, and other religious events that are very import to many.

When they time times that places of worship must close their doors then take to reading and watching the teaching for your faith from the heart of your own home.

This can be do the traditional way by picking up the Bible, Quran, or Torah etc. or by using social media that most places have worship have a link to in today modern society.

You can also watch religious channels on TV, and on line like YouTube.

So good luck and “Peace be with you.”
