FRIARS' MIND

How much religion do we take with us on vacation? We ought to be just as good Catholics when traveling and on vacations as we are at home. But on vacation we do most other things differently, so the ways we express our Faith may be somewhat different too.

A lot of time is spent in the car. There is always some danger because of heavy traffic, unfamiliar roads, and long hours. It's a good idea to have a religious object in the car, a statue, medal or picture, just to remind us to put ourselves in God's care. Prayers said together, like the rosary, is an excellent way to create a proper mood when traveling. It also keeps the kids quiet for a while and helps pass the time.

At our destination we ought to try to have at least one prayer together each day, perhaps at a meal or the last thing at night. Sometimes this may not be practical because of people we are with. No point in being obnoxious by trying to push religion down other people's throat. But when it is just our family, there should be no problem.

Now Sunday Mass. We do have the obligation to attend liturgy every Sunday, even when away from home. So we ought to make some effort to find out where a Catholic church is and impossible or extremely difficult. If we miss Mass in cases like that, we do not commit a sin, so it's nothing to worry about. In other words we do the best we can without being scrupulous.

On vacation fun and family come first. But God is part of all fun and every family.

Frs. Earl & Gilmary
