Last Sunday the parish I go to made a point of asking people to wear red. A fair number of people showed up wearing red today, not a sea of red by any means but more than I expected. My mom said they didn't at church last weekend. So I was wondering if others here were asked to wear red today.
2. Red for Pentecost - it's away of adding a little celebration.
BTW - the parish I go to now doesn't use misselettes and can be a little catholic -lite sometimes. It's a suburban parish. I just realized we didn't recite the special Pentecost poem and wonder if it was quietly dropped everywhere? It was a nice idea, but I've never seen anybody use it properly. All I've ever seen is puzzled mumbling. For a Church with emphasis on symbols and sacramentals, it's a disgrace that so many priests are so deaf to the potential power of liturgy.
4. It's a lovely reading. I get frustrated at times because so
often Catholics don't celebrate Mass, we tend to tolerate Mass, if you know what I mean. I think people are hungry for something, but don't know what they want or how to ask for it.
But that was because the pastor was out of town this past weekend and with all the substitutes we had this weekend the liturgist decided against having the sequence done this year.
