I Didn't Receive Communion Since Lent - And I Don't Feel Deprived.

St. Padre Pio
The enemy knows this hence the shuttering of the Churches.

Sacraments:
No Life (Capital “L”) without the sacraments.
For those who never felt deprived or starved, it appears, they are already Dead (Capital “D”).

I agree that in these difficult circumstances we have a responsibility to keep up and try to improve our relationship with God and that the sort of panic some people experience is not justified. After all, if God has allowed us to be deprived of sacraments, then we should trust him.
Of course faith is worth more than sacraments, but surely, if Our Lord thinks Holy Communion is desirable, shouldn't you?
