Peace Pilgrim:
When people leave early
When they show up late
communion in the hand, why do they think no one accepts the teaching of the Church?
contemporary music that has nothing to do with prayer.(“on eagles wings” is a good example) The hymns are meant to be prayer. “When you sing, you pray twice.”
Extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, the priest and deacon/s should distribute the sacrament.
Priests should have Confession before The Mass.
What bugs me?Maybe the honeymoon is over (I’m a new convert) … but yesterday at Mass, I was irritated… :ehh:
It’s that early Exodus syndrome. Some leave right after or soon after they receive Communion. A flood of people leave right after the priest recesses (how demoralizing and insulting to the choir). St. Augustine taught: Singing is praying twice. Well, actually, he said, “Singing well is praying twice.” Granted, I may not sing well, but it is for me a sacred time to glorify Him in song before I leave and definitely a part of worship.
I was so tempted to put up a sign at every door:
“Arrive before the priest processes; leave after the last hymn is sung.” Any suggestions to remedy this situation?
For that matter, what bugs you at Mass?
