Summary
Patrick Madrid reflects on a dilemma shared by a Catholic churchgoer, who was distracted by another parishioner using his phone as a missal during Mass. Patrick addresses the appropriateness of utilizing digital devices in place of traditional prayer books and how this shift aligns with contemporary worship.

- Paul - Having phones in church: I am hard of hearing and I have a phone that is hooked up to my earring aid.

| 0:20.2 | Hello and good morning and welcome to the Patrick Madrid Show, where the number is always |
| 0:23.9 | 888-914-9-9-49. |
| 0:27.6 | Call that number, we'll get you on the air, sponsored by Catholic Order of Forrester's 888-914-914-9-149. |
| 0:35.4 | Do you use the Missalette at church on Sunday when you go to Mass? Missalette, for those who are not |
| 0:40.9 | Catholic, it's the readings and the prayers and the mass information for that month. And so, |
| 0:49.0 | I mean, you could bring your Bible with you to Mass. Very few Catholics do that. And one reason is because |
| 0:55.8 | it's all there in the missela. You can follow along, you can read the readings, the prayers, |
| 1:00.5 | everything that's there. I tend not to use the miscellet. I tend to just do everything by memory. |
| 1:06.8 | I mean, if you go to Mass often enough, those parts of the mass, you can master very quickly. |
| 1:13.9 | But for many people, having a Missillette or a Missile, which would be, and not a missile like |

| 1:25.5 | And the Missile, of course, is the name of the big book on the altar that the priest is |
| 1:31.2 | using, also known as a sacramentary. But it contains all the prayers for the Mass, etc. I saw this |
| 1:39.1 | on Twitter, and I thought I might bring it to your attention, because I have a few thoughts on it. |
| 1:44.1 | I'm curious if you have any. This is Catholic friends. I have a dilemma and a question. |
| 1:49.6 | Today at Mass, a gentleman sitting alone was using his phone as his missile. This was quite |
| 1:56.2 | distracting. So I went and got him a missile book, opened it to the date of that mass, quietly tapped him |
| 2:03.1 | on the shoulder and said, you can use this to help you follow along. |
