GUIDE

ZOOM

Once a month, we will gather virtually for a Eucharistic celebration to express our love for Jesus. The event will begin with the Holy Rosary at 8 PM, prayed together with the Vocation Warriors of the Diocese of Lucena, followed immediately by the Eucharistic celebration. Let’s come together, fellow Batang Karmelo, with our family, friends, and loved ones, uniting our hearts in worship and thanksgiving.

We look forward to sharing this sacred time with you and growing together in faith and love.

• Purpose

The purpose of this virtual celebration is to express our love for Jesus through participation in the Eucharistic Mass. It allows us, from different locations and situations, to maintain a sense of community and connection among Batang Karmelo with friends and family.

• Spiritual benefit

Provides an opportunity for spiritual growth and reflection. While attending mass online can be beneficial to one's faith, it doesn't fulfill the Sunday obligation. We can engage in prayer, listen to the readings, and reflect on the homily, fostering a deeper connection with our faith.

• Sacramental nature

In essence, while an online Mass cannot fully replicate the sacramental experience of an in-person Mass, it serves as a meaningful way to stay connected to the Church and receive spiritual support.

• Danger of isolation

Pope Francis has warned that online mass can lead to people living their relationship with God in isolation, rather than as part of a community.
