At the moment their is no mass due to the Coronavirus as people can’t gather together. I pray that God will end this and allow our priest and pastors to give mass again. This is one of the things that bothers me the most not being able to come together and worship. It’s been 3 weeks since my church has had mass. Please pray with me

We need to be seeking Christ in personal ways right now and we should be anyway. We are separated out of church though obviously but in unity with Him personally. It's time to refocus, the church isn't our everything, Jesus Christ is . He has always wanted us focused on Him.

You do have a Bible, right?
This is a perfect time to get back into the Word and really explore what God is telling us.

There is no substitute for church attendance. We need it.

But because of the social distancing mandate you cannot have that Church attendance.

Should we then spend all our time on other activities when our Bibles are calling out to us?

I don't recall which channels but I did click through some channels in search of something else, and seen a Program which said "Our Daily Mass", that may be helpful for you but you would have to check it out for yourself.
Heavenly Father, may People get back to their churches to worship You and communicate with other christians, In Jesus Name, Amen.

May the bible give you comfort.
Also you could try calling up some of the other church members. They may be just as lonely and longing as you are?

Wherever two or more are gathered.... All you need is at least one other person who values Christian fellowship enough to have it. The formal churches have abandoned us, but we can have it if we really want it.

But to answer your question, yes, we should spend our time on other activities, because the Bible is no substitute for fellowship.

How does that work? Fellowship seems to you to be the ultimate. What does one do if he is alone and no good Christians around him to fellowship with? Spend his time on "other activities" and ignore his Bible?

I have been in may hostile situations for short times, where there is no one to fellowship with--so I fellowship with God as I should.

I may be wrong but you seem to want to avoid going back to the Word.

The "other activity" is fellowship. It doesn't come at the exclusion of the Bible, nor did I ever suggest it. However, the Bible cannot perform the necessary function of fellowship.

I'm hungry and you're telling me to drink a glass of water. I tell you that water is no substitute for food, and you chastise me for refusing to drink water. Please don't draw me into these irrational arguments.

Fellowship with like minded people on their way to heaven ... that's what church is all about.

Father of all heaven and earth in Jesus name when it is alright to go back to church may there be a hedge of faith around the church like Job had around his family in the Book of Job before you tested him. May we all pass our test of being shut down, shut in and isolated from out family and friends. Amen
