Officially (wink wink)

If anyone can not get to mass in the UK for one reason or another it is live-streamed in any case, 11:00 on Sundays and 12:10 on weekdays (GMT time). The same website provides live masses for America also, there is a timetable you can check.

Well if you want a TLM that is. Probably most people will be happy with the OF from Walsingham and from various cathedrals, including Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral 9 am to 9.30 am or 11 am to 11.30 am GMT.

There being only “private” Masses in our country for the time being , I have just watched the live streaming of the Mass celebrated by our Bishop John .

For the first time I see what a blessing such streaming is for those who regularly are unable to attend the Eucharist .
 
A video made especially for today when we can’t be together in church .

A set of meditations on the Stations of the Cross for the Fourth Sunday of Lent. These stations are from the point of view of Our Lady, for Mothers’ Day.

 
I was hoping to call in at my local church on Wednesday (Annunciation and Pope’s call to Christians for united prayer) as they had the building open even though there have been no public Masses. Anyway, that’s out of the window as they’re now closed altogether.
 
Yes ours was opening for a couple of hours in the mornings and for an hour in the evenings , but now closed completely . Even so a visit now would have not been possible with the new rules on movement from one’s home .
 
A good resource here which you may like and may pass on to friends and family who are stuck inside like me .

(From The Official Companion of The Rededication of England as Mary’s Dowry)

The Rededication of England as Mary’s Dowry on Sunday .

Is The Rededication affected by the COVID-19 pandemic?

In short, no. The beauty of this dedication is its personal nature, meaning that we can make The Rededication wherever we may be .

You can make your prayer at home. Below, you will find a link to the document of the prayers of The Rededication for personal use.

I’m probably in the minority with this but, as much as I know people find comfort in and enjoy watching a live streamed Mass, I don’t find it ‘works’ for me. Instead I’ve been praying during the time Mass takes place and making a spiritual communion. I found this prayer which has really helped me:

A Prayer to Your Guardian Angel When Unable to Attend Mass:

O HOLY ANGEL at my side,
Go to Church for me,
Kneel in my place, at Holy Mass,
Where I desire to be.

At Offertory, in my stead,
Take all I am and own,
And place it as a sacrifice
Upon the Altar Throne.

At Holy Consecration’s bell,
Adore with Seraph’s love,
My Jesus hidden in the Host,
Come down from Heaven above.

Then pray for those I dearly love,
And those who cause me grief,
That Jesus’ Blood may cleanse all hearts,
And suff’ring souls relieve.

And when the priest Communion takes,
Oh, bring my Lord to me,
That His sweet Heart may rest on mine,
And I His temple be.

Pray that this Sacrifice Divine,
May mankind’s sins efface;
Then bring me Jesus’ blessing home,
The pledge of every grace. Amen

I checked on the live streaming from Walsingham yesterday to see what time Mass would be today , the Feast of the Lord’s Annuciation . The priest who was celebrating the Eucharist there used the prayer to our Guardian Angel which you quoted before Mass began .
