it seem like the new mass lacks the reverence it once had..i remember going to weekday mass with my grandmother when it was still dark, voltive candles, the church was eerily quiet as we came a half hour early to pray the rosary..now a days, you get there early and people are talking, laughing...i went to confession on saturday afternoon and there were only five people there, yet Sunday, 80% recieved communion..i know i should mind my own business about other people, but i just cant..i think a mockery is being made..people standing in line wearing shorts, sandals, waiting to recieve the body of Christ on their hand from an old woman......nobody in line has their hands together praying, many are talking to each other..during the mass, so many people participate, it is so distracting..i think deep in my heart i want that church that once was....the one that wasn't afraid to tell you that hell waited for sinners..seems the attitude anymore is that God is all forgiving, i don't think so...
