Tips for Watching Livestream Mass
- Rather than watching the Mass, maybe in pajamas with a cup of coffee, try getting up and getting dressed as you would if actually coming to church. You may not put on a suit and tie, but at least prepare yourself for the liturgy.
- Prepare a special place for Mass. Maybe a table with space for your laptop, with a crucifix, candles, flowers, a Bible, a cloth with the liturgical color of the day, etc. Arrange chairs around the space.
- Before Mass, if you can, print out the worship aid. A copy for each day can be found at ctrcc.com/live-stream. Plan to join in the singing of the hymns and acclamations, answer the dialogues, and pray the prayers aloud.
- While we all miss physical participation in the Eucharist, remember that Christ is truly present in the Word and in those gathered in prayer.
- Sit, stand, and kneel as you would if in the church.
