Redeeming The Time

Many people are saying that it is a great deprivation to have the churches close to the public and therefore not be able to take holy Communion regularly, and others are citing the life of St. Mary of Egypt and her 47 year fast from holy Communion. They say that she did fine, and for the most part they are missing the point. We examine three paramount virtues of St. Mary’s life that are much more important than the historical fact that she did not have fully Communion for many years. Without these virtues, it doesn’t matter if you have only communion or not.
