BALANGA CITY — Bishop Ruperto Santos of the Diocese of Balanga on Friday asked Catholics to have a livestreaming of spiritual activities while staying at home in compliance with the enhanced community quarantine as safeguard against the spread of Covid19.

“We must bring home the celebration of the Holy Eucharist by turning our home into a domestic church and our family into a little parish,” Santos said.

He admitted that it was with a heavy heart that they have to cancel the celebration of the Holy Eucharist for the good and common well-being of the people especially in this time of great sufferings and sacrifices.

To make the livestreaming a celebration of Holy Mass at home alive in the family, Santos urged the faithful to remember the word “MISA”.

M is maayos at malinis din ang lugar na kung saan mapapanood ang Santa Misa. May natatanging mesa na may dalawang kandila, maliit na krus at Bibliya. At sa tamang lugar ay ang telebisyon o radio na mapapanooran o mapapakinggan. Maging maayos din sa sarili gaya ng sinasabi natin na ang suotay Sunday dress.

I is iwasan ang mga bagay na nakakaabala sa ating panonood o pakikinig ng Santa Misa. Iwaksi muna mula sa isipan ang mga alalahanin sa loob ng bahay. At isipin mabuti ang napapanood o napapakinggan sa Santa Misa.

S is sumabay o sumagot sa pagdiriwang ng Santa Misa. Hindi lamang tayo nanonood o nakikinig bagkus tayo ay sumali sa pagidiriwang katulad ng pag-upo, pagtayo at ng nararapat na pagluhod na ating ginagawa sa Santa Misa.

A is alamin mabuti ang mga pagbasa at ang pangaral ng paring nagdiriwang ng Santa Misa. Aminin ang nararapat na gawin o ang dapat na alisin sa ating pananalita at pagkilos upang maisabuhay ng mabuti ang aral ng Ebanghelyo.

Angkinin sa inyong puso  na tinatanggap din ninyo si Hesus sa Banal na Komunyon at maging alay tayo sa Santa Misa at alay ng Panginoong Hesus para sa iba.”

The St. Joseph Cathedral in Balanga City holds Holy Masses at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday but only the priest and readers of the gospel are present. The Mass is available through livestreaming.
