Christ the King at Green Meadows

Another Christ the King Church this time at Green Meadows. I caught the rosary just before the mass proper and people were just beginning to fill the seats. My spinster grandmother who died late last year used to have me and whoever is in the household that time say the rosary everyday. Then there were only three mysteries. Now there are four, not to mention the mystery of why people get sleepy and yawn all the time when saying the rosary.The ambiance was pretty solemn except when this one relatively old guy who probably has some psychological condition would almost shout the words to the rosary as he prayed. And he would move from bench to bench in between mysteries. Anyway, the mass started and the place was full of people from the surrounding posh villages of Corinthians and Valle Verde and Green Meadows, etc... And what was nice were their ushers who really went and looked for seating space in the front where people usually would stay away from and lead them there. The homily was the usual forgettable tale and lesson for everyone. The priest did try to make it a little lively. At least I think he did. Did he? Um, anyway...
So it was dark when I left and as I exited the parking lot there was a line of bargain stalls. It's a phenomenon, I believe. Either you put something extra to reel people in the Church or take the Church to the malls. If Jesus were alive now, would he picket the malls and kick down the stalls? Is it sacrilegious to ask something like that?
