It was great. No one noticed me for the most part, though a nice older gentleman said good morning to me at the end. I enjoyed it. I didn't go up for a blessing--is that normal? Looking forward to going again. Click to expand... Hey! Glad it went well! Most don't encourage blessing in the communion line. You get a blessing during the Mass. ••• More options Report Add bookmark Share Upvote 0

But, Michie's right, the priest blesses everyone at the end of mass, so it's not really necessary and coming out of vogue in some parishes. They're pretty liberal with the blessings at my parish. ••• More options Report Add bookmark Share Upvote 0
