Helpful tips for attending Divine Liturgy from your home from Fr. Michael Sakran: "It is really hard, and unreal, to participate in the Divine Liturgy by watching it on a device in your home. It’s easy to get distracted, to get up and get something, or to do several things at once. I urge you to resist these temptations as you watch. Here are practical tips to get the most out of the live-streamed services: • Before 10:00 a.m., place your device (phone, television, computer, tablet) on or near your icon corner; OR, surround your device with one or more icons. • Turn off all possible distractions (phone, notifications, oven, alarms, etc.) • Like you do before church, take care of all personal needs beforehand. • Dress like you would for a regular Sunday Liturgy. (Casual clothes may encourage a casual, non-prayerful attitude.) • Follow your regular pattern for maintaining the Eucharistic: fast, refrain from food, coffee, etc. until after the Liturgy. • Sing/speak along with us, in whatever way you normally would do during the Liturgy. • As you are able, stand, sit, and kneel as you normally would do during the Liturgy. • Finally, resist the urge to offer any comments online until after the service is over. In short, I encourage you to make these few hours a time of sincere devotion and worship." |
