A video circulating on social media has seen the youth of Ireland pleading for a return to Mass and the sacraments.
Posted by the “We need Worship” Facebook page, the video has garnered nearly 8,000 views and expresses the view that religious services are among the safest forms of social activity to participate in.
“We believe that closing our churches and not letting us go to Mass is inconsistent and unjust, especially seeing that religious services are deemed to be the safest places of public gathering in Ireland,” the narrator states.
“The Church is not an online community. Public worship is at the very heart of who we are, and we need to be able to go to Mass,” she continues.
The video concludes with a montage of dozens of young people’s video submissions which sees them asking both the politicians of the country and the clergy to “please let us go to Mass”.
