To the People of God in the Diocese of Brownsville,
I will withdraw the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation effective Sunday, March 20, 2022 the third Sunday of Lent.
This simply means that the normal obligations for Catholics apply. These obligations include participating in Sunday Mass and using good charitable judgment when approaching the sacred assembly.
Need not be present to win.

Consecrate Russia to Jesus and Mary
Bishops ask Pope Francis to consecrate Ukraine and Russia to Immaculate Heart of Mary By Courtney Mares Rome Newsroom Ukraine’s Latin Rite Catholic bishops have asked Pope Francis to consecrate Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In a letter to the pope, the Ukrainian bishops said that they were writing “in these hours of immeasurable pain and terrible ordeal for our people” in response to many requests for the consecration. “Responding to this prayer, we humbly ask Your Holiness to publicly perform the act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Ukraine and Russia, as requested by the Blessed Virgin in Fatima,” said the letter, published on the bishops’ website on Ash Wednesday, March 2nd. “May the Mother of God, Queen of Peace, accept our prayer: Regina pacis, ora pro nobis.” Before the revolutions of 1917 that overthrew the Russian Empire and led to the creation of the Soviet Union, Russia was colloquially known as the “house of Mary” because there were more shrines and churches dedicated to Our Lady than in any other country at the time.
