Everything you need to celebrate the 5th Sunday of Lent at Home
Join Us and Grow Closer toOur Lord during this Crisis <[link removed]>
Dear Friend,
We endure in faith through it all.
As you know, for the foreseeable future, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been suspended in Dioceses all around the world due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
In the Holy City of Rome, there will be NO public celebration of the Easter Triduum. This fact should fill every Catholic with great sorrow!
Ever since the end of Christian persecution by the Roman Empire in the 4th century, the Easter Triduum has always been publicly celebrated in Rome by the for more than 1700 years in spite of war, invasion, famine, and plagues... that is, until this coming Easter.
In addition to Rome, other dioceses have also officially suspended public Masses. This is truly heartbreaking to many Faithful Catholics such as you and me.
But this crisis is not a reason to lose hope; the grace of the Holy Mass has not been cancelled! In addition, times like this present opportunities that can when embraced, forge us into Great Saints filled with unconquerable hope!
Just because we are not able to physically attend Holy Mass, it doesn't mean that our devotion to the Holy Sacrifice should become lukewarm.
Even though we may not be assembling together, we remain united across our homes and communities as one Body of Christ in communion with each other and with God.
We endure in faith through it all.
What can you do while this crisis lasts in order to stay strong in your Faith and continue on the path to holiness?
Step 1: Livestreams of the Sacred Liturgy: Please tune in to any and all efforts from your pastor including online broadcasts of the Holy Mass. Let’s strive for “fully conscious, and active participation” in the Sacred Liturgy.
Step 2: Bring Back Spiritual Communion: In times of crisis and persecution when Holy Communion is not available, Catholics would receive Our Lord through the ancient practice of Spiritual Communion.
This beautiful custom which has strengthened the hearts of ailing Catholics for generations has unfortunately been forgotten in recent decades.
But you can bring it back and be empowered by Our Savior's loving protection by taking advantage of our ready-made "Spiritual Communion Service at Home" designed by our team of Faithful Priests.

This is great way to strengthen your personal domestic church, a term that refers to the family, the smallest body of gathered believers in Christ.
During this time of crisis and as the world shifts from being in the physical presence of the church community to a feeling of being alone, our prayers for society and strong family bonds are more needed than ever.
We endure in faith through it all.
Let’s all come together and unite in prayer and embrace the silver lining of rediscovering the joy of family and building the Domestic Church.
The Spiritual Communion Service at Home is designed to be distributed electronically on a weekly basis and printed out at home. It has the proper USCCB permissions through April 15 at which time reapplication will be made should there be a continued need.
May Our Lady of the Rosary bless you and your loved ones now and always!
