My Calgon Moment at the Funeral Mass...
One of the things that most annoys me, aside from my wife’s condescending tone when she asks me to do something and I forget, is when, at the most inopportune and solemn point of a Mass, just as I am immersed in silence, peace and reverence; praying and focusing on our Almighty God, a cell phone goes off. It totally kills the moment!
In fact, that’s why I usually leave my cell phone in my car when I go into Mass (just in case).
Unfortunately, I broke my own unwritten rule Wednesday, and I got a taste of my own contempt in the process.
I was at a funeral Mass in Coconut Grove. The church packed to the extent that the doors had to stay open to accommodate the huge crowd that did not fit into the sanctuary.
As in any funeral Mass, it was a very somber and sobering affair.
