Picked up lttle Bernie this morning but when I got to the temple there was nobody to set up yet. Was it Monday, was it Tuesday? Did I mess up? Did I not listen to my telephone messages (chronic problem)? Then the Rabbi gave no homily, nor did the Deacon. Pitty because both of them are very good. The little girl in front of me excercised around the chairs. I thought the Rabbi shortened Mass - that is no homily - because with children that young every second counts. ("Mummy I want to go home.") Well, no, we were to reflect on the Word. How can one reflect when a kid goes through her ballet routine in front of you? No, no, I don't mind. This was rather tame. After all we are supposed to celebrate in community. I just hate the one father who brings his two daughters to Sunday Mass. Now that group is really vocal. We ought to give out free duck tape to them.
