Explained to Catalina by Jesus and Mary

Catalina Rivas of Cochabamba, Bolivia, who now dwells in Mérida, Yucatán, México. She is said to receive Messages from Jesus, Mary, and the angels. She has the approval of her Bishop, René Fernández Apaza, who has given his imprimatur to her Messages. The following text is the reproduction of booklet, “The Holy Mass,” in which Our Lord and Our Lady explain to Catalina what is really going on during the Mass in the spiritual realm, and how we should be more concentrated on the great mysteries that are taking place.

Bo. Daniel Gagnon, OMI, of the Commission for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Archdiocese of Mexico, wrote about this book: “I do not find anything against the faith or the customs of the Church. It is not my function to confirm its supernatural character; nevertheless, I recommend it for its spiritual inspiration.”

Please wear a mask to all Masses.

We are allowed to be at 50% capacity so every other pew will be open. Cry rooms will be locked and not available for use. If you bring young children to Mass, please keep them with you 100% of the time.

In the available pews, we still have to social distance so we will have blue tape on the tops of the pews designating where you may sit; one household per each 6 feet of blue tape. So if one person comes alone, they will occupy the entire 6 feet of tape. If a family of 4 arrives and they can fit in the 6 feet of tape, they may sit together. With all the social distancing requirements, we will only be able to occupy the church at 25% of its full occupancy.

All those attending Mass must have a mask. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you can’t obtain a mask, please make one; a bandana would work also. The bishop has issued a statement to the lay faithful of the diocese. You can read it here: Click Here to Read

Bishop Spalding is very concerned that we remain vigilant in not spreading the virus. As such, he is urging all people in frail health, over 65, or immune-compromised to continue to stay at home during this phase of re-opening.

HOW TO MAKE A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

Saints often made an act of spiritual communion when they couldn’t receive the Eucharist at Mass.

For various reasons we may be prevented from receiving the Eucharist at Mass. We may have broken the one hour fast, be in a state of mortal sin, or we could even be homebound, unable to leave our home to attend Mass.

In these cases the Church encourages us to make an act of “spiritual communion,” where we unite ourselves to God through prayer. It is a beautiful way to express to God our desire to be united with him when we are unable to complete that union in the reception of Holy Communion.
