I’m always amused a the number of C&E’s we get at our parish. During the regular 7:30 mass, you could shoot a cannon down the middle of church and never hit anyone. Today, I had to get there at 6:45 to get our “regular” seat. <\/p>\n
I won’t cast aspersions on these people, because many of not all of them are far better people than me. Showing up for mass every sunday doesn’t get you a seat on that last bus, believe me. <\/p>\n
No, it amuses me that these folks don’t know the changes the nimrod paster has been making in their absence, so they’re sitting\/standing\/kneeling\/praying\/singing at all the wrong times, and they’re all embarrassed by it. <\/p>\n
Don’t be. You showed up. Our “regular pastor”, asshat that he is, will probably give the nine o’clock mass grief for being “prodigal”, but the associate pastor, Father Brian, gave a sermon that hit home nicely: This is our joy as Christians. <\/p>\n
Happy Easter all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
