Kiss Of Peace

Well, the Congregation for Divine Worship in the Vatican says that the kiss of peace should continue but with more sobriety.  I know a lot of people who are feeling a great deal of sobriety today and they are pretty happy, and joyous.  In some churches you get barely more than a wave and this is without ebola virus.  For me, I would skip it if it is no more than a wave of recognition that we are in the same building.  But then, I am one of those people for whom sobriety means happy and joyous.
