I’m probably going to get myself in trouble for this one. However, I think I need to say it. Please understand that I am not wanting a drive through Mass or anything like that. I want good, reverent worship. However, I really want to be able to attend weekday Mass and also be able to do the duties of my state of life. So, I’m asking something of any priest who is saying a 7 AM or noon weekday Mass. Can the Mass please be kept to 30 minutes or maybe a little less?
If you are wondering what my hurry is, it’s just that I have to go to work (or back to work) at a certain time. If the Mass runs too long, then I will be late getting to (or getting back to) work. If this becomes an issue, it basically makes daily Masses inaccessible to me. I have to think that there are others who are in this boat as well.
Weekday Mass is a tremendous blessing. I’m thankful that I get to go as often as I do. However, I’m also someone who thinks a lot about the practical issues. I want to be able to keep attending without worrying about getting in trouble with work. So, please consider my request. It will be most appreciated.
