Live stream is a great tool, but it is not for everyone. If you find the live stream difficult or not worshipful, then I suggest the following prayers for Holy Week. (These prayers are downloadable below.)
O God, make speed to save me.
R: O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost:
R: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
Psalm 22 (21 LXX)

Sing or Speak the Hymn
Thirty years among us dwelling,
His appointed time fulfilled,
Born for this, he meets his Passion,
For that this he freely willed:
On the Cross the Lamb is lifted,
Where
his
life-Blood
shall
be
spilled.
He endured the nails, the spitting,
Vinegar, and spear, and reed:
From that holy Body broken
Blood and Water forth proceed:
Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean,
By that flood from stain are freed.
Faithful Cross! above all other
One and only noble Tree;
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be:
Sweetest wood, and sweetest iron!
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
Bend thy boughs, O Tree of glory,
Thy relaxing sinews bend:
For awhile the ancient rigour
That thy birth bestowed, suspend:
And the King of heavenly beauty
On thy bosom gently tend.
Thou alone wast counted worthy
This world’s ransom to sustain;
That a shipwrecked race for ever
Might a port of refuge gain:
With the sacred Blood anointed
Of the Lamb for sinners slain.
Glory be to God, and honor
In the highest, as is meet,
To the Son and to the Father,
And the eternal Paraclete,
Whose is boundless praise and power
Through the ages infinite. Amen.
Kyrie eleison. R: Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.
Our Father…
Pray the Act of Spiritual Communion, then the Collect.
Almighty and everlasting God, who, of thy tender mercy towards mankind, hast sent thy Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, to take upon him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the Cross, that all mankind should follow the example of his great humility: mercifully grant; that we may both follow the example of his patience, and also be made partakers of his Resurrection. Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord: who with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth God: world without end. Amen.
Pray the Prayer in the Time of Pestilence.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
R: And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us bless the Lord.
R: Thanks be to God.
May the souls of all the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R: Amen.
