Things you should not do at Mass
(but you might be doing anyhow)
Small details that make the difference and unite the
Church
Do not be late. Remember God is waiting for you
to fill you with love, to speak to your ear, to tell
you what you need to hear, to forgive you. He got
you a special place in his table. Do not keep him
waiting.
In the same vein, do not leave until the Mass is
over. You don’t want to miss the final blessing,
through which the priest sends you into the world
to bear witness in the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit. Come out of the church with a
new purpose, inspired by the Lord, to build his
Kingdom of love.
Do not wear inappropriate clothing. Do it for
you, and for others.
Do not enter the church without greeting the
Lord. When you arrive, cross yourself. God is
there, happy to see you. Thank him for the
invitation.
Do not be lazy when it comes to bowing or
genuflecting. If you walk past the altar, which
represents Christ, bow. If you pass through the
Tabernacle, where Christ is, genuflect.
Do not chew gum, eat, or drink during Mass.
Only water is allowed if necessary for health
reasons.
Do not sprawl or slump in the pew. Your body
should express your devotion.
Do not repeat “Through him, and with him,
and in him…” (that is, the Doxology that
concludes the Eucharistic Prayer). The only person
who should say this is the priest who presides
over the Mass.
Do not leave your place to go and give peace.
You should only greet those who are close to you
in the pew. Neither should you use this moment
to go congratulate someone or give condolences.
If you are not prepared, do not take Communion.
After communing, do not talk to others. Go
back to your place and talk to the Lord. If you
have not communed, make a spiritual communion
and talk to Him.
Turn off the phone. Do not keep messaging or talking on the cell phone during Mass, as it distracts you and the others. Turn your attention to the Lord, who is dedicating His attention to you.

WALKING RETREAT AT CENTOCOW
In February this year 11 members of St Dominic’s
walking group spent four days on a walking retreat at
Centocow, led by Pauline Rosseau with Fr Brian
Southwood as our spiritual director. The mission is run
by energetic and welcoming Paulist Father Ignatius.
One of his helpers, Polish priest Father Paul, who is a
great outdoorsman, guided us on our walks.
Early morning walks at 6am were refreshing before
breakfast, followed by more taxing ones, halfway up a
mountain and another down to a local waterfall. In the
afternoons and evenings we reflected, we shared, we
cried and we laughed. On our last day we walked the
Stations of the Cross in the grounds of Centocow
following the extremely moving stone portrayals of the
Passion of Our Lord.
Each day we attended Mass in the priests’ private
chapel. On Sunday Father Brian celebrated a Zulu mass
in the Church of the Sacred Heart, and the homily was
translated into English for us by walker Dr Steven
Carpenter. Singing by the church choir and
parishioners was heavenly and wonderfully uplifting.
Altogether an invigorating, prayerful, spiritual,
inspirational and fun-filled four days, the whole group
leaving Centocow reluctantly with plans to return as
soon as possible to walk again in the beautiful
countryside that surrounds the mission.
If you love to walk, or would like to get into the
habit of walking, please come and join us every
Saturday morning. To join the group contact
Robynne Lott on 084 510 4797 or
[email protected] or Gravin Phyfer on 082 807
1326 or [email protected]

05 May Summerveld
12 May Beach Walk
