Mass Thoughts


Fortunately, I was far more successful this week in paying attention at Mass.   The one part of the readings today that especially hit a chord with me was:

Share your bread with the hungry,
shelter the oppressed and the homeless;
clothe the naked when you see them,
and do not turn your back on your own.

I keep finding, that while I *know* the ideas expressed above, that I hate that I so often recognize that I am so far from where I could and should be in regards to the above.   I could devote more time to service.  I could work harder to help others.  The take home message I had from Mass today is that I need to try harder.  I need to strive to be the better person I should be.

    If only all Christians took their duties as seriously as you do, the world would be in much better shape.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
