The Church’s strength, during these difficult and unpredictable times that humanity is experiencing due to the invisible coronavirus, is not manifested through careless and senseless acts. Some believe they are beyond any danger, that their perilous actions might not endanger the lives of those who congregate in places of worship.

Jesus did not succumb to the second temptation to manifest His strength by falling off the highest point of Solomon’s Temple; instead, He responded to this challenge by answering “Do Not Tempt the Lord Your God”.

The Church’s strength is demonstrated through its faithful, who, out of an increased sense of responsibility for the public’s welfare, will not attend Church services during this critical time period, but will remain home in prayer.
