That sounds like the way to do it.Here's my experience:
Turn to the right, offer hand, "Pax Christi"
Turn to the person behind me, offer hand, "Pax Christi"
Turn to the person on my left, offer hand, "Pax Christi"
Turn to the front, offer hand to person in front of me if they're turned my way, "Pax Christi."
Maybe a few more in my immediate area, but it's usually less than a minute.
You should still go to Mass.Now if they would just eliminate Our Father hand-holding, I might return to mass. Seriously. Don't touch me, people.
I don't think that there is any requirement for hand holding during the Our Father. The practice is widespread and is not forbidden, but that is no the same as being a standard practice properly speaking.Now if they would just eliminate Our Father hand-holding, I might return to mass. Seriously. Don't touch me, people.
You can't really eliminate something that's not part of the mass to begin with.Now if they would just eliminate Our Father hand-holding, I might return to mass. Seriously. Don't touch me, people.
