Show 211: Devotion at Holy Mass

Today, we discuss DEVOTION AT HOLY MASS

We ought to be very devout at Mass; that is, we ought to banish from our minds all that may cause distraction, and en deavor to unite our supplications to those of the priest, especially in the three principal parts of the Mass.

1. Whispering, laughing, looking about at the time of Mass must be carefully avoided; moreover it is unseemly to come to Mass overdressed.
2. When assisting at the holy sacrifice, we ought to unite our supplications to those of the priest, but it is not necessary to use the same prayers as he does,
3. At the three principal parts of the Mass we should to a certain extent suspend our private devotions, and fix our attention upon what is done upon the altar.
4. It is an excellent practice immediately after the consecra tion to make to our heavenly Father a definite act of offering of His divine Son sacrificed upon the altar, and of His Passion and death.
5. At the communion if we do not communicate actually, we ought to do so spiritually.
6. It is not possible to hear two or more Masses at the same time; therefore when in church we ought to follow one Mass attentively, and not more than one.
