Restrictions due to the COVID-19 coronavirus

Dear Members of the MMP,
The safety provisions for public health issued by the governments of many countries, and the decisions made by many
Episcopal Conferences following the spread of the COVID-19
virus, limit the possibility of meeting in public places and also
in churches, to avoid the possibility of contagion. This is sometimes making it difficult to meet for the Cenacles in those
countries.
There is sometimes the temptation to be content to say “we can’t
have cenacles” instead of asking “how can we have a cenacle in
this situation?” ...
On June 10, 1987 our Blessed Mother told us,
“I am calling all the children of the Church to gather together
with me in cenacles of unceasing prayer. Most of all I desire that
the holy rosary be recited often, particularly by the little ones, by
the sick, by the poor and by sinners. Surround the world with
the chain of the rosary in order to obtain grace and mercy for all.
Multiply your cenacles of prayer.” (#356, June 10, 1987)
Already in 1974 she had taught us: “It is not necessary that they
come together in great numbers: even two or three are enough.
These gatherings must constitute real and true cenacles (…) For
it is then that I myself accomplish in them my maternal task of
interceding before God for all my children.” (#34, January 17,
1974)
At this time when attention to public health must limit our
possibilities, I ask you then to remember the great value of the 
v
Cenacles for the Church and for the world, not to lose the gift
and not to miss the grace of the Cenacle. Multiply them wherever and whenever possible and – when it is not possible to meet
as before – temporarily transform the regional, diocesan and
parish Cenacles into many family or priest cenacles, so that no
one misses the request and expectations of our Heavenly Mother.
When it is not possible to leave the house or reach other members of the MMP in other cities, then pray the rosary all together
at the same time, reading the same message and renewing the
Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in spiritual union
among you and with all the members of the MMP in the world.
You can also try to make a cenacle via phone or video calls with
Skype and Whatsapp.
The Cenacles are a gift of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for our
time, and with them we are always united with Her to invoke the
gift of the Holy Spirit, in this special and difficult Hour of Grace.
