[Salvation]

Monsignor Pope Ping!

[Mrs. Don-o]

When I lead the (a cappella) singing during a daily Mass, I am consciously using the Agnus Dei to signal the conclusion of the "handshake of peace," particularly when school-age children are present and going overboard.

I would like it very much if we were to get a firm instruction at some point that we should shake hands with 3 persons max., and say only "Peace" or "The peace of Christ be with you."

This is not a signal for "fellowship time" or "meet & greet". It should take seconds, total. There are many, many times when a person can be --- should be --- all jovial, but this is not one of them. This should be solemn. Think of where it is: before the Lamb of God!

[Bigg Red]

Just prior to the Agnus Dei, the optional (though seldom omitted) sign of peace is sung or said. Unfortunately, there are often excesses in what ought to be a modest greeting to those immediately nearby.

...
Don’t get me started on that do-called Sign of Peace. I can’t help but think that some malevolent force was involved in the placement of that interruption at such a sacred moment.

If it is so important for me to greet my fellow congregants it should be done at the beginning of Mass.

I do a quick giant waves of peace to everyone so I can be at peace with others and myself. This helps me to be at peace with God before holy communion.
