I read
an article recently in Catholic
San Francisco on courtesy,
politeness, and manners at Mass.
It got me thinking. I’d like
to offer my own “Ten
Commandments” on spiritual
etiquette at Mass. Tell me what
you think.
- Everyone
should be
prompt.
- No
one should leave until they
hear the priest say: “the
Mass is
ended.”
- The
chewing of gum is a no
no.
- Men
and boy’s should remove
their hats and caps before
coming into
Church.
- All
food and water should be
discarded in the trash can
outside, including baby
food.
- Cell
Phones should be in the Off
Position.
- The
manner of dress should be
befitting the presence of
God.
- All
social conversations should be
held outside of
Church.
- All
Kleenex and tissues should be
disposed of properly, not in
the pews or parking
lot.
- Missal’s
should be put back in their
slots and should never ever be
taken home.
(see
Seventh Commandment in the Old
Testament).
I
sometimes think that a lot of us
forget that we are in God’s
presence when we come to Church.
I hope these Ten Commandments
gives you some food for
thought.

Have
a great
week!

Beginning
this week, I will be running a
column in the Bulletin on
“Fascinating Bible
Facts.” I hope you find
these facts as fascinating as I
do.
Father
Brian
GENESIS:
Book of
Origins
The
Bible’s first book deals
with origins, naturally enough.
It tells the stories of the
creation of the world and
humanity. It also tells about the
introduction of evil into the
world. Then the book focuses upon
the life of Abraham’s
family, the father of the Jews,
through whom God established his
special plans for the human
race.
