Missal Romanum MCMLXII
A Deeper and Richer experience of The Mass of The Ages
Using Missal Romanum MCMLXII at Mass
Parishioners at St. Joe’s have seen me with my smart-phone out at Mass for the past several months. I have been testing the program and have, for the most part, found that it works quite well. There is, however, one caveat. At times the program would jump around to places where I didn’t tell it to go and sometimes freeze up. Half way through testing I discovered that if I just waited “a bit,” it would catch up to where I was in the Mass, but that's frustrating. The time delay is caused by the weak signal strength of my mobile network, but your network may be better. The best solution to this problem would be a Wi-Fi Booster piggybacking off of an existing Wi-Fi network with a logon for parishioner use. This, of course, would be at the discretion of your pastor.
Guidelines for use at Mass.
If you are going to use the program at Mass, the following guidelines should probably be observed.
1. Mass is obviously not the time to play. Once you have played (after viewing our “How It Works” video), set the controls to how you will be using the missal during Mass beforehand. If you start switching things around during, your prayer will be distracted.
2. If use at Mass becomes frustrating in the least, put the phone away and switch to a printed missal. We will continue to work diligently to resolve the performance issues which hopefully will go away over time. In the meantime, there’s lots of fun to be had at home using the much larger screen on your laptop or tablet. Thank you for using our online TLM missals. We hope you enjoy them.
