The Catechism (para. 2183) and Code of Canon Law (canon 1248.2) specially recommends the faithful take part in the Liturgy of the Word or engage in prayer for an appropriate amount of time IF PARTICIPATION IN THE CELEBRATION OF THE EUCHARIST IS IMPOSSIBLE. With Masses throughout the diocese cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage individuals and families to nevertheless join with the Church in prayer in observance of the Lord's Day. Since the faith of the Church precedes our own, when we join in the common prayer of the Church, we profess the faith of the Church.
The
ORDER OF PRAYER provides the framework for a LITURGY OF THE WORD (including
SPIRITUAL COMMUNION). The Sunday Readings and associated study are also provided separately (below).
