You've got it: the words are two - time and recollection.

I pray the Mass to the East on my day off or on Saturdays (no vigil) and the college students seem to like it. I don't think I could go fully East (if you will) at least not at this point. <br /><br />Additionally, communion rails. Holy cow. I've assisted at my brother's parish (in St. Louis, run by ICRSS) and the experience is germinating. I watch my faithful who try to receive reverently but have to turn a sharp 180 and keep walking. How unkind it is for them to not have a moment of recollection before they return to their pew? They deserve recollection, they deserve the rail. Or so it seems to be growing within me.Fr.
