LIVE MASS
As our nation and the world faces the crisis surrounding COVID-19, many dioceses and parishes have taken the extraordinary measure to cancel the celebration of public Masses and in some cases dispense the faithful from their Sunday obligation. This has been done as state and local governments have begun to limit large gatherings of people in order to limit the spread of the virus and ultimately keep us safe.
During this time, especially during the Lenten season, we wanted to remind you that EWTN broadcasts the daily Mass live at 8am Eastern from Our Lady of the Angels Chapel on the EWTN campus in Irondale, Alabama. You can watch live on TV or online via streaming at ewtn.com/tv/watch-live.
You can also listen to the Mass live on the radio, SIRIUS/XM, or listen online at ewtn.com/radio/listen-live.
If you missed the live stream, you can get today's daily readings and homily at this link.

My Jesus,
I believe that You

I love You above all things,

Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

MISA EN VIVO
A medida que nuestra nación y el mundo se enfrentan a la crisis que rodea a COVID-19, muchas diócesis y parroquias han tomado la medida extraordinaria de cancelar la celebración de misas públicas y, en algunos casos, dispensar a los fieles de su obligación dominical. Esto se ha hecho a medida que los gobiernos estatales y locales han comenzado a limitar las grandes concentraciones de personas con el fin de limitar la propagación del virus y, en última instancia, mantenernos a salvo.

Oracion para la Comunion
Cuando no sea posible por una u otra razón recibir a Cristo en forma sacramental, o en cualquier momento en que uno desee ardientemente recibir a Jesús, se le puede recibir espiritualmente, pronunciando la siguiente fórmula con fervor, demostrándole a Jesús el deseo sincero de estar con Él.
Creo, Jesús mío,
que estás real
y verdaderamente en el cielo
y en el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar.
Os amo sobre todas las cosas
y deseo vivamente recibirte
dentro de mi alma,
pero no pudiendo hacerlo
ahora sacramentalmente,
venid al menos
espiritualmente a mi corazón.
Y como si ya os hubiese recibido,
os abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti.
Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Ti. Amén

Sin starts with giving in to small temptations, Pope Francis warns
04/04/20 10:51 am
Vatican City, Apr 4, 2020 / 03:51 am (CNA).- Before we commit a sin, there were usually small temptations which we let grow in our soul, eventually making excuses for ourselves and our fall, Pope Francis said during Mass Saturday.
“That process which makes us change our hearts from good to bad, which takes us downhill,” he said April 4, is “something which grows, slowly grows, then infects others and ultimately excuses itself.”
