While wearing physical masks may protect the lives of others during a pandemic, there is another type of mask - an invisible, spiritual mask - that hides us from our responsibility as a Christians, warned Bishop Frank Caggiano of Bridgeport.
These spiritual, invisible masks must be peeled off and thrown away if we are to embrace our call to spread the Gospel, he said.
"We wear [masks] to protect those in our midst, the elderly, the frail, those with pre-existing conditions, and those who are susceptible to the virus unknown to them or to us," Caggiano said in an Oct. 2 video reflection.
"We wear these masks, my friends, not to protect ourselves, but in an act of Christian love for our neighbor known and unknown," he said.
