My wish list

• a priest who does not recite the liturgical prayers like he is participating in the 100-yd. dash
• a quieter mic for the presider when music ministry is trying to do its JOB and lead the congregation in song
• a choir area with properly positioned chairs and overhead microphones
• the opportunity to be asked what hymns we may or may not know before they are thrown at us 20 minutes before Mass this is much better now that the music director has planned the music...
• a REVERENT Sunday Mass - without the usual stumblings, forgotten words, forgotten consecrations, etc.
• a good, "spiritually-nutritious" homily
• a "shepherd-like" presence at more parish functions
• less "talk" about upcoming vacation spots and more "walk" in charity and community involvement
• how about a homily during the homily and save the "business of the parish talk" for at the end of Mass (like right before Recessional hymns, perhaps?)

Can I hear an AMEN?
