Effective at midnight tonight, the draconian restrictions by Ontario Politburo chief Doug Ford come into effect for our churches. The already ridiculous occupancy limit of fifteen percent becomes a return to a maximum of ten persons.
The magic god of Covid is coming tonight. You see, he was not here Saturday morning for those who attended Our Lady's Mass or Saturday evening for the Vigil Mass and not this morning for any Masses whatsoever. Everyone was safe and secure from the magic god of Covid. But not tomorrow! No, not tomorrow. Just like magic, he comes at midnight so tomorrow in Doug Ford's Ontario there are only ten people allowed at Mass. But that is not even good enough for Thomas Collins. For him, there shall be none!
Doug Ford is a fraud as a conservative. Forced to back off his Martial Law order because the police in Ontario have more respect for the people and told the government to flick off, Ford is in disgrace.
Worse is Thomas Cowardinal Collins who should have immediately issued an order to his priests that none shall comply and thrown the gauntlet down upon Ford.
The Gospel today for Good Shepherd Sunday, the Second Sunday After Easter in the traditional rite of Holy Mass speaks volumes. It needs to the description from me. It says it all.
GOSPEL John 10:11-16.
At that time, Jesus said to the Pharisees: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
"I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd."
