DEAR PADRE
How should parents
discipline children at Mass?
I’m tired of being distracted by children sliding
around in the pews, fidgeting constantly, and giggling
with each other. How would the priest like parents to
handle these situations during Mass?
I presume you mean children between the ages of
two and six—kids too old to be crying in their parents’
arms and too young to be in religious-education
programs. Many parishes have children’s Liturgy of the
Word programs, but the kids still spend time at regular
Mass. It’s important for kids to be at Mass and to learn
to be quiet for an hour. When children come to Mass,
they slowly get used to the idea that they’re expected to
behave for a limited amount of time. Parents should
bring books or soft toys—anything that won’t make
more noise—to keep the kids entertained. They
shouldn’t let their kids bring musical toys, electronic
games with sound effects, or toy trucks that can be run
up and down the pews. If children continue to be
disruptive, parents should take them outside for a short
time and then bring them back. Bottom line: Priests want
children to come to Mass. It’s better to have fidgeting
kids at Mass than no kids at all. We want them to learn
to behave now so when they get older they’re ready to
deepen their participation in the Mass.

Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Come to The Feast
“On this mountain, the Lord of hosts / will provide for
all peoples / a feast of rich food and choice
wines” (Isaiah 25:6). That’s what Isaiah tells us today.
God is putting together a huge party for “all peoples,”
to “wipe away / the tears from every face” (Isaiah 25:8)
And what does Jesus tell us? The reign of God, he says,
“may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for
his son” (Matthew 22:2). When the guests didn’t come,
the king had his servants go out “into the main roads
and invite to the feast whomever you find” (Matthew
22:9). We are called to deliver that invitation. One of
the themes woven into today’s liturgy is that of divine
generosity. Asleep to reality, people often think they
have “earned” what they have. In our better moments,
though, we know that all our gifts—even the spiritual
gifts—come through God’s generosity. Our vocation is
to invite people, to remind them the tickets aren’t for
sale. We can only show up and say thank you.
