Recommending a New Year's Resolution for Every Parish

STOP THE LITURGICAL ABUSES!

I am in complete agreement with the article below. Can we please bring back obedience in the small things. Remember what Jesus said about those who are faithful in those: they will be faithful in larger things as well. How many of the liturgical abuses mentioned in the article are taking place in your parish? If you witness them, maybe a polite note to the pastor is in order. I always close my eyes during the Our Father if I'm in a parish where I think the hand-grabbing will start. It saves me rejecting the, no doubt, well meaning gesture and feeling like an ungracious guest.
