The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated and accelerated the use of the Internet to bring the celebration of liturgies and sacraments into the confines of homes and quarantine facilities. And yet, how valid and efficacious are these for online participants? The Catholic Church still requires a person’s physical presence for the celebration of a sacrament to be valid and efficacious for them. Leo-Martin Angelo R. Ocampo’s essay, “Cybergrace in Cyberspace? An Argument for Online Liturgies in Light of COVID-19,” explores the issue with foresight into what may happen to the celebration of the sacraments when the virtual world becomes more and more real and the real world becomes more and more virtual. – F.
