Just went to Easter Mass for the first time in many years

It was a blistering 40 minutes.
The priest seemed like he was in a rush to get it over with.
I had been looking forward to having some type of enriching experience.
I guess I’ll redirect my search for God inwardly.

Religion is just a system. God exists in people, not institutions.

It’s for folks with children.

Had some “sacramental” wine to pop at whatever Easter party he was invited to.

Priest has to clear the Church for the next Mass.

Like watching the finale of a TV series first and wondering what the big deal is. Some of the best masses I've been to are regular Saturday vigils. Keep showing up.

You just picked the wrong mass if you wanted longer. Easter vigil Saturday night is 2-1/2 hours long.

The one to go to at Easter is the vigil on the Saturday night before. We went last night. With the 9 readings, the epistle, the gospel, the blessing of the baptismal, acceptance of new folks, the homily, and the Eucharist it was a smooth 3.5 hours.

The answer lies within…not doing sitting/standing exercises and rituals at church for 45 minutes. I get more enriching experiences being in nature than a church.

Go to an Orthodox Easter (Pascha) mass. It will be a completely different experience. Make sure you're well rested and wearing some comfortable shoes.

He is busy man. He has 3 or 4 more to do today.
The Catholic Church is not like one of those nondenominational churches that have two mega services a week where the entire congregation meets together.
The Catholic Church service is like a Popeyes, you get the same rituals and readings at every church every across the world on rotation (That is menu items), the only difference is in how it is presented by individual priests (aka the attitude or enthusiasm of the workers).
Also don’t forget the priest is probably pretty miserable since he has never experienced the joy of sex, or it has been years since he has partaken in life’s guiltiest and simplest pleasures.

I wonder why all the Easter mass related threads are being anchored?
Is it because we’re supposed to be discussing Transgender Day of Visibility instead?

Perhaps he's tried and overwhelmed.
Perhaps you could offer him help and find enrichment that way.

He actually had lots of energy and a little bit of swagger. Probably one of those widower priests.

We did that last night. Our son in law was confirmed and baptized in the Catholic Church. Great service. 2 hours and 45 minutes.
