This paper investigates the shift from physical to virtual religious practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected how Filipino Catholics attend their daily masses, celebrations, and other sacraments and sacramentals. The researchers use expository writing and content analysis to analyze the collected data from documents discussing Filipino Catholic spirituality and religiosity and the transition from physical to virtual religious practices. First, we will discuss Filipino Catholic spirituality and religiosity. Second, we present the transition from physical to virtual Catholic religious practices. Lastly, we explain the possible effects of virtual religious practices on expressing religiosity and enriching the spirituality of Filipinos. Hence, this paper ends by stating that virtual religious practices do not have the same intimacy as physical religious practices but still help the faithful encounter God.
本文探讨了由于新冠疫情大流行导致的从实体宗教活动向虚拟宗教活动的转变，这一转变影响了菲律宾天主教徒参加日常弥撒、庆典以及其他圣事和圣礼仪式的方式。研究人员运用说明文写作和内容分析方法，对从讨论菲律宾天主教灵性与宗教信仰以及从实体宗教活动向虚拟宗教活动转变的文献中收集到的数据进行分析。首先，我们将讨论菲律宾天主教的灵性与宗教信仰。其次，我们呈现从实体天主教宗教活动向虚拟宗教活动的转变。最后，我们解释虚拟宗教活动对表达宗教信仰和丰富菲律宾人灵性可能产生的影响。因此，本文最后指出，虚拟宗教活动虽不像实体宗教活动那样具有相同的亲密感，但仍有助于信徒与上帝相遇。
