[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Mass was packed.  Like people standing outside packed.

I am always joyful to see this happen on the holidays, and hope that perhaps, some casual believers or fallen away Catholics who are attending to please the in laws, might here or see something that touches them and brings them back home.

I try to smile more during the sign of peace. We scrunch our family together so more people can fit, holding not only the preschooler as a lap child but the 1st grader as well. I pray for the priest too, that with so many new people in attendance that day, he will hit one out of the park with his homily.

This Easter, our priest hit an unexpected home run.  He was realy on his A game.  You can tell by the faces that people were actually listening intently.

These intently listening faces were people I had never seen before at Mass.  All told, I recognized 4 families from our regular section where we sit at that Mass. Many of the others I had never seen before.

I am praying that we see some of them again next week. [u][i][b] Wouldn't it be wonderful to have people pooling out the doors every weekend at church[/b][/i][/u]?[/quote]

Yes, that is awesome.  As a fellow Catholic, I totally agree.  Let's pray all week that this happens again next week?  What say, you all?  [/quote]
