Thanks Wina for sharing your experiences. Truly, it is amazing how God works inside each of our souls. He really loves us so much that He does not want us to go astray.
Here is one of my recent experiences in attending the Holy Mass. In this recent experiences I realized that the words of Saint Pio are true, for he said: "Every Holy Mass, heard with devotions, produces in our souls marvelous effects, abundant MATERIAL and spiritual graces which we ourselves do not know.
Few months ago I tried to attend Holy Mass daily as much as I could. After several weeks in this devotion, business projects started pouring in. So, I decided to stop attending the afternoon Mass to be able to accomodate the hectic schedule. After the projects has finished, I did not return to the daily Mass habit. And then after few more weeks no projects came in. And I could hardly close a business deal since then. So, I started to attend again the Daily Mass, and projects starts coming in again.
I reflected on these things and I realized this could not only be coincidence. The words of Saint Pio are true. It is really amazing how God showers His rays of spiritual graces unto my soul everytime I attend the Mass. And how important the Holy Mass is to Our Lord GOD, that He even provided the material graces I needed, out of His generosity and kindness.
Amen…
Like Jesus said “But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be given you besides” (Matt 6 : 33).
. So, when the time was we should take Holy Eucharist and inside my heart, Jesus said I’ve known what you have been through and I will never leave you ever. I don’t know how to describe it but there’s something in my heart asked me to take communion although I knew that I was not prepared to take it because I have sins. But it forced me to take it, so I prayed in my heart that God may forgive my sins so I could take it. Then, I encouraged myself to take it and knew that God allowed me to take it too. So I took it and I felt something great. I had strength to face all my trouble, I had strength to go for conffession and the most important that I felt great love from HIM until I cried and cried. Sorry, I’m not able to describe what exactly I felt that time but what I can say that I felt that I’m being loved by God very much. Then, a few days later, I went to confession and talked to the priest and I knew what I should do.Then since that time, my life has changed completely, before I attended the mass just because obligation but now I know that every time I go, God gives me strength to face all troubles in the world, although I still fail many times but God never leaves me. He always picks me up and try hard to make a better person day by day.
