COVID-19 swept the globe at a threatening rate. A pandemic was declared, and we were plunged into a period of lockdowns, closures, restrictions, and the unknown.But in Saint-Georges, Que., a lovely voice pushed back against the uncertainty.

For many people, the message and the medium used for its communication are two separate phenomena. One might even say that the message is what really matters, while the medium is only the method for delivery or the means of expression.

But that leads to several questions: Is it possible to isolate the message from its medium? Doesn’t a message require a certain medium to travel and be well received by a specific group of people? Doesn’t the medium influence the effective reception of the message? Doesn’t the message need to be adapted for the medium that will carry it?

In Jesus’ incarnation we saw that the message and the media are interconnected, because Jesus was the Word, and the Word became flesh.
