Catholic Guilt Revisited
Some of you may remember back in March? Let me find it. here Where I talked about my disappointment in myself and my lack of regular mass going. Well this week was no different. This Sunday I went alone! It felt great, it was uplifting but you know? I missed my kids. It was also Sign up week for Religion Classes (Sunday School) so I signed all 3 of them up.
There was a lot of "new" going on in mass this week. The church opened a new Website (no I'm not linking there), and they held the sign ups, and the priest made a huge effort to encourage everyone to be a part of the parish. It's impressive. I like my priest. He's nice, he's friendly and he's "with it". So they're talking of taking the Altar off the "stage" haha (Altar off the Altar?) and moving it down into the parish, with the chairs. We have individual chairs for our pews. It's nice because you can move your chair out of the line or shift a bit so your kids can see. So his new idea is with the Altar down in the seating area, we are part of the mass; and he is part of the parish.
On the way out of mass I had 1 question... Where do we genuflect then if you move the Altar? He said "we haven't genuflected in years, since I was a child" interesting I said because uh all of The Island is still Genuflecting when entering pews or going up onto the altar. Small changes take time it seems. I guess that's what we will find this coming week.
With the boys all signed up, we will be trying to get to the early mass. Another plus? this is 1hour between mass 1 and mass 2 where I'm home alone with Hubbie? I wonder if I should be Thanking God for this one?
I put this post over here because it's ME that wants the Catholic Mass in our lives. Hubbie isn't at all interested, and that's a bit difficult. 1 mom and 3 boys is hard enough when Dad doesn't want to be there either? It's really difficult.
