Liturgical theology confesses that creation is still in motion. Creation is not a past event, it is a present and on-going event. Each moment comes from God’s hand. Don’t say “God created;” say “God is creating.” He does so, as Gaudium et Spes said, with stability, proper laws, and order, making his creation susceptible to investigation. History unfolds within this stable order, and history is made of personal encounters. We have them with each other; and salvation history witnesses to personal visitations by God, as well.

This period of “COVID-tide” has placed enormous challenges on the church and has posed questions to which Christians have provided various responses. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I do hope that the Church might set aside at least this one attempt to respond to the desire for the Eucharist.
