How to Pray the TV Mass from Home. Some very practical and helpful suggestions for getting the most of your live streamed mass.
1. Create a prayer altar under your TV or streaming device. Place a candle and cross on it.
2. Open your Bible to the gospel of the day and place it on your home altar.
3. Get dressed as you normally would when going to Mass.
4. Bless yourselves by making the Sign of the Cross as you enter the space
5. Take a few moments of silence before Mass begins.
6. Fully participate in the mass: sing, stand, sit, kneel, etc.
7. Have breakfast together afterward, or call a loved one to connect with.

Message from Pope Francis.
