My husband was a chaplain's assistant. I took it very seriously. I think that for me that is the only important part of the mass. I do have to say I don't like the hand shaking thing with people you don't know. When I serve communion I think of it as the body and blood of christ. But sadly I don't go to organized religious services anymore. I feel spiritual in my heart and that is all that matters now.
