During a business trip I stopped at a small church to focus the mind and if you can call it that - relax spiritually. Good churches are to himself that in May the good energy. The church was a small, intimate even, with the located next to the well-kept cemetery. And all of this beautifully overexposed sun and summer wind chill.
so happened that she was to start a mass. I was glad I stayed. In the meantime, I pointed out that the old mosaic floor was a lot of mistakes in the selection of patterns and colors of mosaic. I wonder whether the effort, inattention, lack of skills or in a hurry? Perhaps the anger? Who knows?
In the church, outside of me were three people. Inferred from their behavior that we all familiar with and even like it. Mass began.
After Mass we all parted. I pointed out that the organ played enthusiastic siblings.
But just as we drove by car to Warsaw, I realized that in addition to the liturgy, and what follows from the rite, the priest did not speak to us from you one word! Neither really not welcomed, I did not smile, nor the end is not goodbye. Ot appeared, he celebrated Mass and without a word disappeared in the depths of the sacristy. I understand that could have a bad day. But we are not talking about haunted sermons during which the faithful are talking with God, are converted, or seeing their sins begin to sob. Mówiimy only the basic standards of human communication ...
And by the way, I wonder what would happen if I just ran this training as a priest carries masses?
Oh, I entered the room without saying a word, and I started without a greeting like this: "the subject of training is to analyze the purchase dissonance among retail and institutional clients," He'd
hour, monotonous, voice niemodulowanym in a way that absolutely niespersonalizowany, and after finishing it - Lord have mercy - the training, without a single word would go out of the room.
What was it then?
know what would happen!
It would be such that it would have on their training to 4 people (including one bit of the case) with a mean age of participants in training - just in the eye 65 years ....
And there is no question of an inappropriate comparison. I just got very, very sad, because I realized that the institutional church (and not the one in our hearts) is such an old, very, very old "company", run by old age, very lonely men.
And this "firm" is becoming less likely to hit the needs of the modern "market" for young people, looking, intelligent and rebellious, however always be people with high communication needs. And some beautiful pilgrimage little change here. Pilgrimages are a kind of "Sunday best" and secretive, stripped of any immediacy of communication style is on a daily basis.
's more or less like I'm now AD 2009 in a campus where everyone has an iPod set up shop selling cassettes magnetofonowymi .... And of course
I complained that the MP3 is like nothing, an invention of Satan is ...
