Oddly, our COVID times offered some moments of grace and growth. We were encouraged to leave our churches open for part of the day—particularly in light of our inability to welcome crowds back to public worship. Many of our parishes have continued to offer our spaces for quiet prayer and meditation. One of the opportunities here in our parishes has been the Monday evening confession time. Because it’s not just about getting to the sacrament of reconciliation, however valuable that may be, during that 5:30 to 7 p.m. time, we place the Blessed Sacrament on the altar for adoration. We put the lights on. We keep a quiet atmosphere. We invite you to come and go as you please. There’s a little bit of song and prayer to begin and end the evening. But, it’s mostly your time to spend with the Lord.
