Emotionally charged healing events risk suggestion, emotionalism, and deception. They resemble magic and oppose trust in God’s will. True healing comes in God’s time, faith rests on reverent trust, not spectacle.
Clapping during Mass is inappropriate, creating a theatrical atmosphere unworthy of sacred worship. The Mass demands reverence, not applause, as public worship should remain solemn and respectful.
