Really??? Some people stayed until the end... I normally see people executing the "eucharistic departure." Gather up your stuff, get in line for eucharist, get the eucharist, head out the back door!

You do know who started this trend don't you?

It was Judas, who left immediately after Holy Communion at the very First Mass. He had serious business to take care of.

This is good, never heard it before! Do you mind if I 'borrow" it?

oooo! Great line! I'm gonna mention that to our priest when I see an opening. (I bet he's not thrilled about folks making the turn from the altar and just heading straight out the door . . . )

When I was in seventh grade, one Monday morning in a quiet English class, the door flung open, and our Pastor stepped boldly in with his arm outstretched and finger pointing at one pupil, and with a voice soooo booming I think I came near to wetting myself, he roared, "You!!  How daaaare you leave the church with the holy Eucharist on your tongue!!!".  His posture was like Charleton Heston in the Ten Commandments or somethin'.... whew.... even today, I can remember clearly how stunning it was to every last one of us, even our dear SSJ teacher.  Father's point was made.   Ahhhh, the good ole days (even though it was twenty some years ago)    :-)   FReegards.
