That was the moment I saw the dangers of having those services mid week, in a parish that does have a weekly Vigil Mass. Also, I consider that if we have them unnecessarilly they could lead to confusion between ministerial priesthood (in persona Christi), and emergency support from laity. I would dearly love the opportunity for a few minutes total silence in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Why do we always need to have something scheduled? Prayer does not have to be communal every time.
