| Does it sometimes seem that the Mass just happens while you sit there? Maybe you are a recent convert, or perhaps you've attended Mass your whole life, but there are still things that puzzle you - like when you should genuflect and when you should bow...what the different books used at Mass are and what they contain...the meaning of the words such as "Amen," Alleluia," or "Hosanna"...what to do during the sign of peace.
