LIFE TEEN Changes

I am impressed with how LIFE TEEN are implementing the changes in how Mass is to be celebrated.

I have not seen the video they are using, but it seems a effective way to communicate and educate people on the changes they need to make.

I think it is very encouraging that they have recognised the importance of making these changes. From the press release: "One of the most significant and visible modifications discontinues teens from circling the altar during the Eucharistic prayer."

It was a mistake to be doing this. But admitting and correcting such a mistake is difficult.
