Frequent participation in the mass is a very important practice during Lent, a time of renewal in faith, hope and love, even during pandemic times.
It is best to attend mass in person. If that’s not possible, the Archdiocese of Edmonton is providing guidelines to encourage our active participation in the sacred liturgy.
These include watching a live-streamed celebration; creating a sense of sacred space by displaying the Bible, a crucifix, candles, or an image of Our Lord and Our Lady; taking time for prayer and reading the Scriptural readings assigned for the mass in order to be fully attentive to the Word of God when it is proclaimed.
