Summary

I talk with Dr. Janet Smith about her open letter to U.S Bishops. Read and add your signature here: https://weareaneasterpeople.com/

We are facing unprecedented restrictions on the faithful to be able to receive Sacraments during this most difficult time. As many of you are aware there are dioceses that have restricted the reception of the Anointing of the Sick and all have canceled public Masses. Dr. Janet Smith has written a petition to ask the US Bishops to do everything they can to make the sacraments available especially the Anointing of the Sick available to the sick and dying during this COVID 19 pandemic.

0:34.8	which urges bishops to make the sacraments as accessible as possible during this time of,
0:36.0	in the coronavirus.
0:39.9	Yeah, good a day. Dr. Janet Smith. How are you?
0:45.6	Good day to you. You look fantastic. Did I say it the right way? Good day. Yeah, that's pretty good. It's pretty good. Okay. Good day to you. Oh, I'm always afraid people think it's a shtick or something. It really
