Are you ever moved to tears during the mass?

Sometimes I feel great joy during the consecration. I think about how not only is Jesus present with us in the Eucharist, but also that his angels are here worshiping alongside us. The mass is something that heaven truly rejoices in!

But what makes me really weep, almost uncontrollably, is when I feel such overwhelming love and gratitude for priests. They offer their whole lives in service of God and His bride, the Church. They really are our spiritual fathers, and I’m so thankful for what they’ve shown me in their homilies and for every grace I’ve received through them during reconciliation and Communion. When I think about this, I’m moved to tears. I’m a new Catholic, but I feel confident that I will be praying for priests around the world for the rest of my life.

Do you ever cry during mass or prayer? Is there something in particular that stirs your heart, and how do you respond to these experiences?

Sometimes yes sometimes no it really depends
 

Behold the Lamb of God.
Behold Him who takes away the sins of the world.
Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Lord, I am not worthy
 
I often have to fight back tears after receiving communion. It is not so much joy or happiness (though that is a part of it) but it is the gratitude and thankfulness to God for never giving up on me and calling me back to Him after I was away for so long. I am so thankful that He sacrificed so much for us (The Passion and Crucifixion) for our sins that we may be able to have eternal salvation. He loves us so much that he died for us…that is the greatest sacrifice the world has or will ever see.
 
Many times this happens to me in adoration. This past Sunday however I had tears at Mass. Not because of anything moving but I was literaly bored to tears. The Homily was 30 minutes of parish budget issues…
