It is our responsibility to enter Church solely for the celebration of the Unbloody Sacrifice of our Lord, Jesus Christ at Calvary.

Too many enter to discuss this week's fashions and what happened at school. There are others who are in the state of mummification from beginning to end except when they walk up for the Eucharist.

I believe that the majority of the attendees really do not know what the Mass is all about except it is something we do on Sunday, if we are lucky.

When was the last time you saw a head bow during the Creed for the Holy Spirit, or a head bow for Jesus' name, or the concentration of the eyes on the elevation of the Eucharist.

Of course, many of these things were never taught the laity. I am glad I was raised in the '30s

The first thing a parishioner should do upon kneeling in a pew is to ask the Holy Spirit to be at this Mass

Absolutely. Focus on the two parts of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
