Artist and podcaster Jules Coll and musician Damien Guiden joined Mario for this weeks panel discussing the power of Crystal energy and is it a fad, the fun that should be had at mass and and the general election.
The topic that got the texts flying in was the discussion around mass with Damien Guiden. Damien recently attended his sister`s anniversary mas, he left feeling pretty ok, spending time with his thoughts, chatting to family that passed. He felt it wasn't about sitting and listening to a priest repeating prayers from a bible or mass leaflet telling a "story" with a message. Damien felt he left feeling ok because he had no phone or anything tech related for an hour, it was just him and his thoughts - it was his time. He looked around the church and it was nearly empty - age was average 60 and it just lacked atmosphere. The music was weak with nothing to it, people looked sad - it didn't have to be like that he thought. Why couldn't it be a place of enjoyment?
This led listeners to send in their experiences of enjoyable masses from around the country and where it is done right. Choirs, questions and answer time and priests with humour. Shouldn't this be the case for every mass regardless of religion to bring community together?
