12. You're correct: TV Mass is just fine and will have to suffice for most of us, most of the time.

I have missed the community of my fellow Catholics, as well as even the community of fellow humans more than I realized.
In general I do quite well in isolation - living alone, with busy adult children nearby, and my own energy flagging due to age and ailments.
Am grateful for the blessings I do have - food, warm house, able to care for myself physically and financially.
And a choice of TV masses both online (sometimes live) and on TV.
And I'll not be first in line to be vaccinated. - Will need to be well-assured that it is safe for a senior with many physical conditions.
