On Holy Ground: Church and Mass Etiquette
by Victor R. Claveau, MJ
BOOK REVIEW:
by Mary Ann Kreitzer, President
Les Femmes - The Women of Truth
Human nature is such that activities we repeat tend to become routine. The one who does something the first time with attention and diligence, is apt to do it casually and carelessly after dozens of repetitions. If the activity is trivial, casual performance doesn’t much matter; but when it has cosmic significance like the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, indifference and carelessness toward the sacred mysteries are tragic. Such slovenly participation at Mass is, unfortunately, common. And so I began Victor Claveau’s book On Holy Ground: Church and Mass Etiquette, with eager anticipation hoping to find a tool to encourage more respectful attention at Mass. I wasn’t disappointed.
