Should you clap during Holy Mass? Saint Padre Pio has a startling answer by Dr. Taylor Marshall

Personal reflection: 

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass 

is not a performance, 

is not a show, 

is not a production, 

is not an entertainment venue.

At Mass, let us put our hands together to

 PRAY, 

not to clap. 

At Mass, our hands were meant for 

PRAYING, 

not for clapping.
