Happy Tuesday! So I broke my own rule for myself and have
not written in nearly two months, but everyone gets a chance to start fresh so
this is mine…again.
Well, to make a
long 2 months short enough for a blog, I did go to Mass on Easter Sunday and it
did feel A-MAZING. Sure, it was super crowded and I had a kid coughing on me in
the pew behind me and two others throwing temper tantrums in the pews in front
of me, but to be honest, I was so busy paying attention to the Mass that I didn’t
really allow myself to feel annoyed.
The homily struck
me particularly because it discussed evangelization and facing the world
outside the confines of your church. I immediately thought of my father
preaching several times about this very topic. It dawned on me that this is
something that we talk about a lot as Christians, but we don’t always practice.
The remainder of the day and several days following, I continued to think about
this topic.
Why is it so hard
to evangelize and how can you evangelize without turning people off?
This is a topic I
plan to talk about a little more later on.
As for my continued
church attendance, I have attended via Church of the Sacred Heart each Sunday morning
at 8:30AM on TV. Do I feel bad about not going in person? Kind of, but watching
on TV allows me some private time to reflect on what’s been said and to enjoy
the Mass in my own quiet contemplation which is what I feel I need tremendously
right now.
So next up…Evangelization
in 2013!
Until then, many
blessing!
