<p>This Sunday, we offered our Mass for the Sixth Sunday of Easter for healthcare workers — doctors, nurses, support staff, those who do the cleaning and provide services — all of those who are really putting their lives at risk to make sure everyone is cared for during this pandemic.</p>

Guild of St. Luke for Catholic physicians.
I was very struck when I learned recently that more than 500 physicians died in Wuhan, China, during the worst part of the epidemic there. While we are fortunate we haven’t seen anything like that in our own country, it just serves to underscore the potential danger and the heroism our healthcare workers have displayed in the service they are providing. So, we were very pleased to be able to offer that Mass for all of them.
