Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, there’s no way to guarantee everyone will receive the sacrament on March 29 or into the future.
Fortunately, I don’t think a mandatory quarantine is imminent, though things are changing quickly, as you know.
The bigger question will be: do those without a priesthood holder in the home even want visitors in their home?
I would doubt we'll ever see a virtual blessing of the bread and water because, I believe, the breaking is part of the ordinance (why the bread is broken in our presence and not brought to church in small pieces already).
Many people have had to go without the sacrament for years (members in East Germany and other Soviet bloc nations) and remained on the covenant path.
Hopefully all of us will become more appreciative of the sacrament and other ordinances through this trial.
You don’t need to reply or share, but just so you can help counsel RS presidents, as you’ve done already (thank you!), to please do everything they can to help calm fears and not create more worries and concerns.
Thx
PrL
