It's First Friday ... maybe they're in church.
Now I'm being uncharitable ... I think traditional devotions are great, but only if they make you a more Christlike person.
I imagine they are in church----praying for us. Bless their hearts. ; )
First Friday Mass never made me more a Christlike person - it just annoyed me, because it didn't coincide with Religion class, it was usually English or History that was missed.
It wasn't so bad up until about 4th grade.....but after that, well.
I spent 12 years in Catholic schools and came to the conclusion that mandatory (as in no choice) was not the means to make Christlike children who would turn into similar adults.
