	‘[Assistant] Editor’s View’ Kevin Wondrash

First off, I want to thank Catholic Herald Editor Mary C. Uhler for letting me borrow the Editorial page this week.

As many of you saw in last week’s edition, Mary was taken to the hospital after a serious medical episode.

You dear readers will be happy to know that she’s currently at home, resting and recovering.

I’m sure she’ll tell you more about what happened and what she went through in a future issue.

Know that she has greatly appreciated all of your prayers and thoughts.

Here, at our offices, the situation with Mary was just one of many things we have had to deal with over the last few weeks.

Holy Week: Celebrating the strangest things

With the coronavirus, this year’s Holy Week will be strange and different.

We will not be gathering in churches in large numbers. We will not receive the Eucharist. We will not be joining family and friends for Easter.

We all feel the vulnerability and struggle of this painful moment, wondering what the future holds for us, especially the elderly, ill, and unemployed.

Holy Week: why ‘strange’?

But even in a normal year, Holy Week is the strangest thing.
