I don't know where you live, but you can find another parish. That was especially difficult for me because I love the people in that parish, many are now my family, but I have found a parish who understand the reverence I feel is needed to show, the respect, to enter in to the presence of The Lord. In the Cincinnati Diocese AB Scnurr, bless his soul, saw fit to let FSSP establish a parish in Dayton. I cannot find words to express the gratitude I have. rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131930849106490711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-4666116455940918042014-05-26T10:25:55.724-04:002014-05-26T10:25:55.724-04:00Wow, what a post. Thank you, Father. You've ...Wow, what a post. Thank you, Father. You've helped me as I try to make sense of lots of stuff that's happened over the past 40+ years.<br /><br />One of the things that drives me batty at times is the constant, almost obsessive, chit chat that goes on and on and on before Mass, and sometimes during Mass.<br /><br />I really love people, I enjoy being with people and seeing my friends at Mass. But that's not why I go to Mass. Call me crazy, but I'd like to have some time before Mass to properly prepare myself for my transport to the foot of the Cross. After Mass, I'd like to make a thanksgiving without getting dirty looks from people because I didn't join in the arm-knocking festivity. <br /><br />The "cattle call" communion experience can be maddening enough, without everyone practically high fiving each other on the way up and back. It's not a barbecue for crying out loud.<br /><br />Of course - of course - I will smile if someone smiles at me, and I will be kind to folks. But I won't engage them in talk until after Mass. I'm trying to be ready to receive the Blessed Sacrament, not some chips and a beer. <br /><br />Sue me, persecute me, do your worst. (not you personally, Father.) I don't care, really I don't!<br /><br />One last thought; can the "ministers of music," or whatever they call themselves, please drop the saccharine banter and just announce the hymns. I'm sick of the commentary, and contrived spiel we're subjected to week after week.<br /><br />Whoever is reading the drivel I just wrote, please pray for me to remember charity, gentleness and kindness, because I really need it. Please, please pray for me, a poor sinner. Count on my prayers for everybody reading here. I love you folks.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757853819879109451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-41270795416284798122014-05-26T10:11:16.918-04:002014-05-26T10:11:16.918-04:00Brilliant Father!Brilliant Father!Netmilsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100626389916221972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-48994299658347638322014-05-26T06:54:16.860-04:002014-05-26T06:54:16.860-04:00Winter for the Catholic Faith in England
