Participating in Mass
Prepare for Mass by reading the Scriptures, arriving with attention, and joining the assembly’s listening, responses, silence, and prayer. Understand the connection between the liturgy of the word and the Eucharist. Reception of communion has specific conditions; visitors and those not receiving can still attend and pray. Local assistance is valuable when you are learning a rite or returning after time away.
