The obligation to our Easter Duties is removed from us in these extreme circumstances. Our Catholic tradition allows us in this situation to make an Act of Perfect Contrition to express the sorrow we feel for offences against the goodness of God.

"I would invite people to watch the videos with the gospel text of John before them, so that in new circumstances we can celebrate the new life of the Risen Jesus which we have received, and which guides and nourishes us even in the most difficult circumstances."
