There are a lot of things being done on Zoom that are much better in person, so I don’t think anyone will rave about a Zoom Novena, just like they don’t about church services. We all need that close, physical contact with people who are dedicated to the same purpose.
Not to mention the coffee and snacks afterwards.
That’s true, but you can do a group prayer event for 30 minutes, say, on Zoom, where it would take up to two hours if you had to drive somewhere and then drive back, and what about your kids?
Maybe I’m wrong; time will tell. I think it’s great having committee meetings on Zoom.
Well, you’re right about this. Asuncion told me this morning that she couldn’t participate in the Novena because of internet issues at her house, and I’ll bet there are others with connectivity issues or who can’t afford the data charges.
It’s not like we have another choice right now, but for the long term, “live in person” seems to have some major advantages.
