     I am curious as to how so much music fits in to your home parish Mass, Ryan. I’m usually selecting verses to cut down the gifts hymn to under two and a half minutes!

       Ha! Sometimes as I’m typing it, I think the same thing. To be fair, they only fit one verse of “God Has Spoken by the Prophets” in there, but I will say things usually do take more time there than at most parishes. Where I go now, Mass is generally 45-55 minutes. My home parish is usually 65-75 minutes. I haven’t been there since before March 2020 because they’re way too flippant about COVID for my liking, but when I used to go back and visit, I would tell my mom I felt like we were doing Mass in slow motion.

       Regarding the gifts time specifically, I think it’s a combination of a big church building with just a few ushers to do the collection, a slow procession with the gifts, and priests that move slowly. Communion takes longer now because they’re doing communion on the tongue at the communion rail after everyone else in the line receives in the hand.

       Here’s the livestream from this Sunday if you’re interested: https://fb.watch/aKUWL-ZuA1/ On finding the link, I realized I could’ve added that the prelude was Suzanne Toolan’s “Jesus Christ, Yesterday, Today, and Forever” in alternating English and Spanish. So much music!
