Dear Sandra,
Being fairly new here, you may not have recognized that almost all of the posters are latin mass traditionalists who have demonstrated no real love for this liturgy or the practices connected with it. They do not even respond
Amen, as we do, so arguments on adding “Amen, Sandy” are fallacious.
I hope you will consider the source and stay in your sacred ministry unhindered by these uncharitable remarks. Have you ever heard the expression “killjoy?” You know this is not God’s way of correcting anyone.
The final umpire is the peace of the Holy Spirit deep within and witnessing affirmation to you … continue therefore, until such time, if it ever comes, that the Lord (or your pastor) convicts you to do differently. Nobody can tamper with that inner sanctuary of conscience but God. If this happens to be wrong, He will bring it to light in His timing.
As for how to handle those who object to the practice, there should not be a 4-page thread on such a minor issue. It seems rather simple for them to contact you and ask that you not do it.
But I doubt you’ll receive any calls.
God’s peace be with you,
Carole
