Bishop LeGatt: COVID-Related Measures, and Seeing Christ in All

In this video containing a two-fold message, Archbishop LeGatt’s takes a moment to discuss the rationale behind the newest set of COVID-related restrictions in place throughout our Archdiocese, to then reflect on the division that may be becoming more and more pronounced and urgent in our families, parishes, communities, and society. Issues surrounding mask-wearing and vaccination have become so emotionally charged and sensitive that they have the potential to do unimaginable and long-lasting harm to our families and communities, leading to anger, and even sometimes to hate. Hence, we must, before anything, love. Love conquers all. Although we may have strong convictions on one side of these issues or the other, let us never forget the person, first: the presence of Christ in each and all, He, who calls us first to love each and all. Let us not become so consumed by our positions that we forget the value and the dignity of all, and see the person first, in God’s image.
