BTW, our intentions/petitions ALWAUS have a pro-life intention in them. Are we blessed at our church, or what?
That’s the indicia of a “good” parish, IMO. we have it at our’s as well, but sometimes we go to neighboring parishes when our schedules dictate based on mass offering times, and instead of a prolife intention they have a pro-healthcare reform one. My husband can never contain himself in those situations. On prolife sunday, my daughter and i went to our parish and heard a fantastic prolife sermon. my husband and son went to a neighboring squishy parish and got the we need healthcare reform sermon. immediately after the sermon, according to my teenaged son, my husband said aloud “well, THAT was a scandal” and the woman in front of him turned around and said i agree.
