Committments

Dear Sr. Edwina: Recently I attended a Mass was delayed for ten minutes. The Priest was searching for someone to do the readings and trying to find another altar server. It was aggravating for those of us who were there on time, not to mention the frustration the Priest must have felt. Please comment.

Concerned Catholic: (Sigh) as our society gets busier and busier the problem you mentioned above seems to have magnified. It is assumed that persons signing up for liturgical roles will follow through and fulfill their commitment, at times it is not so. In situations such as the one you mentioned, the Priest has to sacrifice the precious time he needs, to prepare spiritually for Mass. Perhaps we need more than just a gentle reminder of the inconvenience such behaviors cause others. Sr. Edwina would like to say in the sternest manner, it is extremely rude not to take responsibility for one’s commitments, especially in regard to Mass. Please gentle Christians if you cannot fulfill your commitment at the very least, make arrangements for coverage so that the beauty, the holiness and the sanctity of the Mass can be protected.
