8.21. Aren’t you afraid of being cut off from the sacraments, especially the Eucharist?

That fear is understandable—but it must be answered by truth and trust in God’s Providence. We are not cut off from the sacraments—we assist at valid traditional Latin Masses and receive valid sacraments from validly ordained priests who remain faithful to tradition.

In times of persecution, war, or upheaval, many Catholics have gone without Mass for months or years. The key is to never compromise the faith to access the sacraments. Better to go without Mass than to attend a sacrilegious or doubtful one. Sacraments are not magic—they require right matter, form, intention, and orthodoxy. Christ is with His faithful even when priests are few. He will provide.
