I went to the church of St. Brigid and St. Emeric this morning and there was just a handwritten sign on the front door "All masses are suspended this weekend." The church was open though and about a dozen or so people gathered to pray the rosary. It was powerful, and comforting. It felt like we were praying for the whole world, and I suppose we were. It's easy to worship in such a beautiful sanctuary, and I thank God for Saint Brigid's.
