Seizing the opportunity

This (along with clear direction on when/where to bow and genuflect) from the Pastor's Corner of our bulletin regarding some practical things to keep in mind when the tabernacle is moved:

The main church should be a place of prayer and adoration. While conversations with each other before and after Mass are very welcome in the lobby area and in the activity center, they should not be taking place in the main church where the tabernacle is present. It will take some practice for us to remember this, but it is important to keep in mind.

As we introduce changes such as this, it is very important to be patient and charitable with one another. Some people are excited by the changes, others struggle with them ...

So this is me - passing on the news in a charitable way.

I can live with that
