Today is Easter Sunday for many of us here in America and over the rest of the world. Passover began at sundown last Monday evening. There are Islamic observances during this time as well. As we age, it becomes more difficult to attend services at our local place of worship while it often becomes more important to our sense of well being to participate in religious practice. It is important for those of us who are still able to move about without problems to make the effort to support the desire to attend services for our aging relatives and friends.
There are also ways for mobility challenged persons to participate in religion via technology. More churches are broadcasting over the web as well as those that have broadcast on television or radio for many years. As it relates to smart phones…there’s an app for that. You can now download a copy of your holy book or stream video from your chosen place of worship. It would be a very good thing to help our aging relatives to be able to worship electronically.
