Archbishop's Message May 11,2020

DECREE

Since my decree of March 13, 2020, I have each day longed to be with you in person, to gather you together to celebrate our sacraments and to live together the struggles and losses that we have faced. We have so often been much more alone than we would like. I am grateful for the ways that we have been able to connect virtually. I am especially grateful for the ways that, with appropriate care for each other’s safety, you have continued to support one another and assist the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters. It is a source of great comfort to me that when you were unable to receive Jesus in the Eucharist, you received him in the poor and in those who are at risk. And so it is with great joy that in this decree I am able to restore the sacramental life of our Church. I do so aware of the care that this requires and of the ongoing danger of COVID-19 infection. I am also aware that many, due to age or underlying conditions, will still not be able to safely gather with our communities, even for sacramental purposes. It is essential that we continue to reach out to and support these brothers and sisters in every way that we can safely stay connected to them. In my decree of March 13, 2020, I included a dispensation for all Catholics from the obligation to participate in Mass on Sundays and other holy days of obligation. This dispensation remains in effect under this decree and will continue until I specifically revoke it.  I have studied the situation of the 19 counties of the Archdiocese of San Antonio in collaboration with experts and the archdiocesan COVID-19 Task Force, and with the approval of the Presbyteral Council, I Decree that, public Sunday liturgy will resume beginning the weekend of the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord, May 23-24, 2020, and that they are to be celebrated in such a way as to follow the archdiocesan directives in Guidelines for Reopening Mass to the Public, and the regulations of civil authorities. I further Decree that parishes may once again celebrate public daily Mass beginning May 19, 2020, in preparation for and leading up to the Feast of the Ascension, as long as they are able to follow the same directives and regulations. As conditions change, and with each new phase of reopening the state of Texas as ordered by civil officials, I will issue additional directives, if necessary, considering the recommendations of health authorities and civil regulations, to help pastors, administrators and the Catholic community of the archdiocese ensure the health of their specific community. Additional directives that I may issue will have the same force under this decree as the Guidelines for Reopening Mass to the Public. This Decree becomes effective the 19th day of May, 2020, and remains in effect until revoked. 
 
Given at the Chancery of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, this 11th day of May, in the year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty.

DECRETO 

Desde mi decreto del 13 de marzo de 2020, cada día he deseado estar con ustedes en persona, reunirlos para celebrar nuestros sacramentos y vivir juntos las luchas y pérdidas que hemos enfrentado. Muy a menudo hemos estado mucho más solos de lo que quisiéramos. Estoy agradecido por las formas en que hemos podido comunicarnos virtualmente. Estoy especialmente agradecido por las formas en que, con el cuidado apropiado para la seguridad de los demás, han seguido apoyándose mutuamente y han continuado ayudando a los más vulnerables de nuestros hermanos y hermanas. Es una fuente de gran consuelo para mí que cuando no han podido recibir a Jesús en la Eucaristía, si lo han recibido en los pobres y en los que están en riesgo. 
Y así es, con gran alegría, que en este decreto puedo restaurar la vida sacramental de nuestra Iglesia. Lo hago consciente del cuidado que esto requiere y del peligro continuo de infección por COVID-19. También soy consciente de que muchos, debido a la edad o las condiciones subyacentes, aún no podrán reunirse de manera segura con nuestras comunidades, incluso con fines sacramentales. Es fundamental que continuemos contactando y apoyando a estos hermanos y hermanas en todas las formas en que podamos estar conectados con ellos de manera segura. 
En mi decreto del 13 de marzo de 2020 incluí una dispensa, para todos los católicos, de la obligación de participar en misa los domingos y otros días santos de precepto. Esta dispensa permanece vigente bajo este decreto y continuará hasta que yo la revoque específicamente. 
He estudiado la situación de los 19 condados que integran el territorio de la Arquidiócesis de San Antonio en colaboración con expertos y el grupo de trabajo arquidiocesano para el COVID-19, y con la aprobación del Consejo Presbiteral, decreto que los actos litúrgicos dominicales públicos se reanudarán a partir del fin de semana de la Solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor, el 23 y 24 de mayo de 2020, y deben celebrarse de manera que se cumpla lo estipulado en las Directrices para la Reapertura de la Misa al Público, así como las regulaciones de las autoridades civiles. Además decreto que las parroquias pueden celebrar nuevamente la misa pública entre semana a partir del 19 de mayo de 2020, en preparación para la Solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor, siempre que puedan seguirse las mismas directrices y regulaciones. 
A medida que cambien las condiciones y con cada nueva fase de reapertura del estado de Texas según lo ordenen los funcionarios civiles, si es necesario emitiré directrices adicionales, teniendo en cuenta las recomendaciones de las autoridades sanitarias y los reglamentos civiles, para ayudar a los párrocos, administradores y a la comunidad católica de la Arquidiócesis a garantizar la salud de su comunidad específica. Las directrices adicionales que pueda emitir tendrán la misma fuerza en virtud de este decreto que las Directrices para la Reapertura de la Misa al Público. 
Este Decreto entrará en vigor el 19 de mayo de 2020 y permanecerá vigente hasta su revocación. 
 
Dado en la Cancillería de la Arquidiócesis de San Antonio, el día 11 de mayo, en el año de nuestro Señor, dos mil veinte.

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
