Taking Notes at Mass

Something I've started doing within the last month or so is to bring a notebook with me when I attend Mass. It's helpful to me to remind myself later of some points that Father makes during his sermon--or even when I have some insight into some other part of the liturgy.

I'll write more on that later...for the moment, the point I want to make is that sometimes I get strange, or at least questioning, looks from some of the other parishioners. I guess it's natural enough to wonder at any unusual sight during Mass, whether it's fidgeting kids or someone responding to a text message (and yes, I've seen people do this during Mass).

My point is this: Don't ask why I'm taking notes at Mass. Rather, ask yourself why you aren't.
