Young Austrian Catholics Plead with Bishops: ‘Please, Give Us Back Holy Mass’...

“You will eat of My Flesh and drink of My Blood in My houses or you will not be with Me. Do not cast aside My House because of the values of man. My representatives will bring My Body and Blood to you during the Consecration. Do not judge My House by the standards of man. But woe unto that day when you can no longer receive My Body and Blood!” - Jesus, March 18, 1974

HOLINESS MUST BE RETURNED
"My children, you must join your hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of My Son. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and respect. Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned to My Son's houses, churches throughout the world--reverence, holiness, and respect from the beginning to the end of the Sacred Service.
    "Women must keep their heads covered, My child. It is not because of fashion or modes; it is because the Eternal Father and the angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice. It offends the heart of My Son much to see that satan has taken away so much piety and holiness in His churches throughout the world." - Our Lady, September 6, 1975

CONSTANTLY
"My child and My children, pray constantly a vigil of prayer going throughout your world and the earth, for the little time that is being allotted to mankind." - Jesus, August 21, 1985

GREAT COURAGED NEEDED
"Great courage will be needed in the days ahead. You will pray much, and the Father will counsel you on your next recourse. Spread the message, My child, with great haste.
    "Did I not warn you that the agents of darkness would try to stop the truth? Have no fear, My child. It is not man that you should fear. Man has lost his way; he is in deep darkness. Darkness has entered into the hearts of many. Many in My Son's House now have gone down the road to darkness. Pray for them, My child. Do not castigate them in any way, but pray that they may be given the light." - Our Lady, November 1, 1973

A number of young Catholics in Austria have pleaded with their bishops to “please, give us back Holy Mass.” 

In a short video released Sunday, the young people are directly addressing the bishops, humbly asking to be able to go to Holy Mass again, which had been banned because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The young Catholics even suggested how they would help with practical issues of reopening churches while keeping people safe. “We want to support our shepherds and offer our help,” one man said.

“We will be there during the Mass to make sure nobody is less than six feet apart,” another man added in the video, which has been released not only in the original German, but with English, Spanish, and French subtitles, as well.

The pews would be disinfected after each church service. “If there is a lack of resources, we will organize the masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves,” a young woman offered.

Finally, the young people would provide lists on Doodle, making sure of the number of people signing up for each Mass.

“Dear Austrian Bishops,” the video started out, “we know that this is a very difficult time, but we ask one thing. Give us back Holy Mass!”

As in many other countries, only businesses deemed essential were allowed to stay open during the coronavirus pandemic. At this point, other small businesses may again be open to the public, too. The video asked, “What could be more essential for us than Holy Mass?”

A young woman reminded viewers of a story recently related by Pope Francis during one of his Masses that are streamed live every morning from his residence in the Vatican. A bishop had told the Holy Father to be “careful not to ‘virtualize’ the Church, not to ‘virtualize’ the Sacraments, not to ‘virtualize’ the People of God.”

“The Church, the Sacraments, the People of God are concrete,” the Pope said.

The video made by Austrian Catholics concludes with everybody asking of the bishops, “Please give us back Holy Mass!”

On March 11, dioceses across Austria first dispensed Catholics from fulfilling their Sunday Mass obligation, “should participation in Sunday services not be possible or advisable.”

Mass attendance, especially on Sundays, was made almost impossible by a government decree, which prohibited events indoors, if more than 100 people are present. Similarly, only 500 people were allowed to congregate for events outdoors.

Many parishes in Austria have congregations that are a lot larger.

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, announced, “Within the Archdiocese of Vienna we accept the guidelines of the federal government regarding the coronavirus preventative measures. They therefore apply to all forms of worship and church events.”

Parish priests, he added at the time, have to ensure that the measures are implemented locally.

The Archdiocese of Vienna said Holy Communion should not be received on the tongue, but in the hand. Catholics in Austria were also told not to drink the consecrated wine from the chalice. The use of Holy Water and the practice of the sign of peace should also be avoided.

A few days later, beginning March 16, the Austrian bishops banned all Masses and other church services. Funerals were ordered to take place with only very few people. Requiem Masses had to be pushed back to a later date.

“I am aware that these are serious measures that we do not take lightly,” the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Vienna said. “All this is about protecting, above all, the group of old and sick people who are most at risk. The measures are an expression of a properly understood Christian love of self and of neighbor.”

“We as a Church do not stop being there for the worries and needs of people in a responsible way, praying for them and celebrating the Eucharist, especially in this difficult situation,” he explained.

Even though small businesses are allowed to open again, the stay-at-home order is still in place. “Apart from emergencies, shopping, and the way to work, you may therefore only move outside if you are traveling alone or together with your housemates and keep at least one meter distance from other people,” Austrian public television station ORF summarized.

There will be no events until the end of June, and school will resume only in mid-May, at the earliest. Austrians are required to wear masks in stores and while using public transportation.

Austria has a population of just under nine million people. 470 of those have died from coronavirus. Less than 15,000 had tested positive for it.

Like the young Catholics in the video, several members of the hierarchy had pointed out that Masses are as important as stores, and requirements of public health could be observed within church buildings.

“Just as we are able to purchase food and medicine, while taking care not to spread the coronavirus in the process, so also we must be able to pray in our churches and chapels, receive the Sacraments, and engage in acts of public prayer and devotion, so that we know God’s closeness to us and remain close to Him, fittingly calling upon His help,” Cardinal Raymond Burke emphasized. “Without the help of God, we are indeed lost.”

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò said, “I understand and share the basic worries about safety and protection which the authorities require for public health. However, just as they have the right to pass measures for things affecting our bodies, so the Church authorities have the right and the duty to worry about the health of our souls.”

“They cannot deny the faithful the spiritual sustenance they receive from the Eucharist, not to mention the Sacrament of Confession, Mass, and Viaticum,” the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States explained.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider stressed that as long as supermarkets are not closed, “and as long as people have access to public transportation, one cannot see a plausible reason for banning people from assisting at Holy Mass in a church. One could guarantee in churches the same and even better hygienic protective measures. For example, before each Mass one could disinfect the pews and doors, and everyone who enters the church could disinfect their hands.”

“Other similar measures could also be taken,” the Bishop continued. “One could limit the number of participants and increase the frequency of Mass celebration.”

TOO LITTLE HOLINESS
"I have warned you to protect your households and your children from the evil forces that now have cast a dark shadow upon mankind and the world. There are doctrines of demons being expounded by human beings who knowingly or unknowingly have become tools of satan. The saddest knowledge that I have received is that My Son is being defamed even by His own, His own teachers, those who have given themselves over to the world and have allowed Our sheep to go straying.
    "I have asked you all not to abandon My Son's Church, but to remain: set an example of prayer and holiness. There is too little holiness now in My Son's Church, and in other denominations upon the earth.
    "Those who have little knowledge of the Book of life and love, the Bible, will fall easy prey to false witnesses who go about the world now, deceiving even some of the elect. You must read your Bible so that you will not be deluded by the written word. The Bible cannot be taken as sectional or piece by piece, but you must know the whole, for satan has poisoned many minds. And satan, too, can expound the Scriptures." - Our Lady, May 26, 1979

SAVED
"Many souls that would otherwise fall into hell and eternal damnation have been saved because of the thousands of prayers that have been rising to Heaven for their salvation. Only, My children, in the time of your great reward in Heaven will you understand fully how great was your mission upon earth." - Jesus, October 6, 1976

WARRlORS
"You just remember, My children, to call on Michael and the angels, whom man has deemed to cast aside. Yes, this guardian you will need. We have placed them at your sides; call on them. We are all waiting and watching. No one will be lost if they call on them, Our warriors." - Our Lady, May 30, 1971

MERITS
"You will come across the veil with nothing but the merits of love and prayer." - Jesus, March 18, 1978

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

COURAGE AND PERSEVERANCE
"Now, My child, I give you My peace in courage and perseverance. The strength will be given to you to continue your mission, but know that the battle rages now for souls. Satan will send great forces against you and all who work for My Mother. But know now that Her voice will not be stilled throughout the world, for We will rise up great enemies against these forces of satan. As they seek to send enemies among you, We shall crush them." - Jesus, October 2, 1974

COURAGE TO STAND FORWARD
"I bless you, My child, and this cross discarded with sorrow in Our hearts. It will bring immeasurable joy to your heart. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
    "Now, My child, you shall have two crosses, but this one you will take with you, so you will always be close to My sacred grounds. Many graces have been given for the return to the Sacraments of Our wandering sheep. Bless them, My child, on every oc­casion with this crucifix. A holy priest once held it, and he will be returned to the flock when he receives the courage of his convictions to stand forward as a true shepherd." - Our Lady, November 1, 1975

"RETURN TO A LIFE OF PRAYER"
"Clergy, bishops, cardinals in My House, return to a life of prayer. Take yourselves out of the world. You have become seekers of pleasure, pleasures of the flesh. My children and My shepherds, you will all be judged, and shall I find you wanting?
    "My Mother has promised to be with you as I am with you unto the end of time.
    "There will be many trials set upon the world. And if you retain your sacramentals and keep your faith, you will go through these times with great courage and perseverance. I repeat: Many shall wash themselves clean in the Blood of the Lamb." - Jesus, July 25, 1977

MORE
"If you pray more, you will learn to love prayer. It will become a way of life that you cannot turn from, for it will give you something that you have never found in the world." - St. Theresa, May 17, 1975

SUNDAY HOLY HOUR
"I wish that there be held on these sacred grounds an hour of reparation on the Day of the Lord. This hour will be for your Vicar and the fallen hierarchy in the House of God. This hour will also be in atonement for the discard of the holy Day of God." - Our Lady, September 14, 1972

SAINTS
"The power of prayer has made saints from sinners." - Our Lady, October 2, 1972

CHILDREN
"In order for your children to be saved, My parents, you must keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your home, and those homes of your immediate families. One good example can save a dozen, My children." - Our Lady, October 5, 1985

SOUL MEDITATION
"My children, We are always with you, but you must think your way to Us. This may be confusing at first, but really quite simple; for prayer is a form of soul meditation through the thinking process. What you hear within is the Spirit within." - Our Lady, October 6, 1970

UNLESS
"Unless you pray, you will be lost." - St. Thomas, November 24, 1973

UNANSWERED
"Your prayers will not go unanswered. Ask, and you shall receive; seek and you shall find the way. Believe and you will be given the way." - Jesus, October 6, 1979

WEAPON
"Pray, for prayer is the greatest weapon given to you now to remove this evil from among you." - Our Lady, September 7, 1974

ACTION
"Pray, but act also, for prayers without action is like placing a mess of meat on a dead man's grave." - Jesus, August 5, 1978

OPEN UP
"They do not always have to be written words, but pray from your heart; open up your heart to My Son." - Our Lady, November 20, 1976

SPEAK ONCE
"Speak once, and if not hastened or listened to, speak no more, but pray that the Eternal Father in Heaven will open up the ears of those who have closed their hearts and their ears to the truth." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979

WOMEN
"The angels command respect to My Son. You [women] will cover your heads when you pray." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

BEGIN AND END
"Each day of your life must begin with prayer and end with prayer." - Jesus, February 10, 1977

STRENGTH
"The prayers of others can reach out and give this strength to the weak." - Our Lady, March 24, 1972

INVASION
"O My children, prayer and penance is the major, now, blockade against invasion." - Our Lady, March 15, 1978

CHASTISEMENT
"The coming Chastisement will be lessened in your area if you will follow the direction I have given you from Heaven: a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady, April 22, 1973

DAILY
"You must all now keep a constant vigilance of prayer. And when I say constant, My children, it means daily." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978

MY GOD
My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee. I beg pardon for all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love Thee. - Veronica, October 6, 1976

SUCCOR
"When you become ill, be it physical, mental, or sorrowfully in your heart, you will say, 'My Jesus, my confidence!' And I will truly succor you." - Our Lady, September 7, 1985
