Thank you so much for the link. Great! Not “boring’ at all.
I get really annoyed now in mass when couples can’t keep their hands off each other, kids are not able to sit though one hour without talking, poking each other etc and parents think this is fine ( I understand every kid is gonna goof up sometimes..), people look around, chomp and look clueless when they come from communion...and often just rush right out the door with a ‘glad THAT”S over” look.
Is it me? am I being too judgemental? should I be glad that at least they are at mass ( which I am).
Try attending an evening mass. I don’t know why, and it may just be me, but the Sat. eve mass is always more tranquil, (for lack of a better word) than those on Sun. morn.

No. You are not.
I tire of the “At least they’re there” excuse. because they are not. Their bodies are there.
It’s time we started to get people to understand that we are asked for ONE hour a week. ONE hour. Hold still, stop texting, playing PS3s, sipping water, and feeding your kids. Jesus is there, right there, on the Altar.
If your parent was in a nursing home couldn’t you give him/her an hour a week? Afterall, Christ was ONLY nailed to a cross for three hours for you. These people should get on their big kid undies and suck it up for Jesus.
Just my rant for the day.
