Why Go to Mass?

 

 

 

I think there are two reasons to go to Mass, 1. To be feed spiritually and 2. To acknowledge that we were created to know, love and serve God.

 

"We do not come to church to attend the service as a spectator, but in order, along with the priest, to serve God. Everything we do—our entering, being present, our kneeling and sitting and standing, our reception of the sacred nourishment—should be divine service. This is so only when all we do overflows from the awareness of a collected heart and the mind’s attentiveness.”  [An Excerpt From Fr. Romano Guardini’s Meditations Before Mass, p.28

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.

St. Joseph, pray for us.

St. Andre Bessette, intercede for us. 

St. Francis de Sales, pray for us.

“Tune my spirit to the music of heaven.”  [St. Brendan the Navigator]

May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.

 

N.B. Tomorrow’s blog will be posted at 11:00 am on the 11 day of the 11 month (rather than the usual 7:00 am) because the armistice to end hostilities of W.W. I  went into effect at the 11 hour, of the 11 day, of the 11 month.
