When it is recited aloud it is too easy to forget this is a prayer and start performing it for the people's edification -watch how many celebrants extend the gifts to the congregation while they say the words of consecration: a clear indication who is the focus of their attention.<br />Blessings!Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-32865575817050463302014-06-09T10:40:07.702+01:002014-06-09T10:40:07.702+01:00Here in Asia, it is mostly a bow or a nod, which I...Here in Asia, it is mostly a bow or a nod, which I think is much less disruptive than the Western practice of shaking hands.

The amplex is far more fitting if we are going to keep the SOP.<br />God Bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-87320070118883050892014-06-08T20:35:45.119+01:002014-06-08T20:35:45.119+01:00Unfortunately, Father, anyone who does not care fo...Unfortunately, Father, anyone who does not care for the sign of peace as is now practised, is considered aloof and unfriendly. Like the lady you mention, I was praying for the deceased members of my family - parents and brothers - and did not wish to interrupt my prayers at that point in the melee that was going on around me. It was not that I was ignoring anyone but more a question of higher priorities. I had more important things on my mind. However, it did not go down well with a fellow behind me who murmured quite loudly -'what's up with him' - to all within earshot. If anyone wishes to engage in this activity then let them get on with it, but they must recognise that some may have sound reasons for not joining in and their views must be respected. Unfortunately, nowadays, if one is not seen to be actively singing, responding, clapping, and jumping up and down on cue, then you are considered not to be taking a full and active part in the 'celebration'.
