Less commotion, more reverence around makes for better conditions for God working within. I like to sit up front, because it’s very distracting for me and hard to focus otherwise.
I laughed at a friend who has a beauty shop. She told me she has to sit in the first or second row so that she is not distracted by looking a people’s hair and thinking what she might do with them in her shop. LOL!
So to concentrate on the Mass — front rows.
