I always cry during mass.That makes me uncomfortable but I don’t know how to stop it. The only way to stop it is to be distracted which I don’t think is a good idea.
Every moment at the mass is so beautiful and intense!!
Sometimes I go for communion full in tears.
I’m not want to call for attention or bother the person next to me.
Any advise?

Put your hands over your face. That’s what I do. I cry during Mass all the time too. Try to sit twords the back away from people. And don’t be embarrassed. It’s a gift from God.

This put a “tug” on my heart – because I ALWAYS cry when I receive the Eucharist – I always tell Jesus my prayer is always the same, each and every day – please stay with me for the remainder of the day or I’d be so lonesome without you.
I believe receiving the Eucharist is a “teary” situation so I would advise you not to be upset by this because I’m sure there are many more people at the Mass who are in the same situation.

Yes, go to the Apologetics forum and check out this thread-and then offer your awesome experiences to it:
If the Eucharist is really Jesus Christ, why do I not experience anything special?
 
Crying is a gift and attending Mass is a very moving experience, I agree! I cry my way through it each and every time myself. I go armed with kleenex in both pockets of my jacket or slacks so I don’t have to rummage around and distract anyone else. I used to be embarrased by it but, not anymore. I have had a few people ask me as I was leaving “Are you OK?” and I tell them I am better than OK, especially after receiving Our Lord in the Eucharist, and give them a big smile. 😃

It’s a gift 🙂 Remember St. Joseph of Cupertino was extremely embarrassed that he was able to fly. It happens to me sometimes too. Just humbly use a lot of tissues 😉 I realize we’ll just be spirit, but who wouldn’t cry from pure joy upon entering heaven and being in communion with God? Same thing at communion. It’s a lovely gift that you have the grace to experience this in a similar way.
 
I’m guessing that if you feel like crying then something spiritual is going on. But things are not always as straight forward in the spiritual realm as we would like. Remember when the Holy Spirit is involves the the effect will be positive. So this is where I would like to consider why would the Holy Spirit cause you to cry if it embarasses you especially going up to communion. One posability would be humility as pride could be the cause of the embarassment. I want to throw something else into the discussion ; could satan be causing you to feel this way as a sublte ploy to distract you from true enjoyment of the whole Mass and Eucharist. I think all above suggestions are great but can I suggest you say the Rosary with the intention of ending these emotional events if they are not from a proper source or for the Grace to handle them better and with true thankfullness if they are from the Holy Spirit. At least doing this you can’t go wrong .

I’m sorry to inject a note of caution here; and I admit I am not an expert on spirituality so I could be completely wrong. I just hope I have helped and not hurt 😊

Accept it and don’t worry. I’ve been doing the same thing for years. Or else grinning: Jesus is coming, so cool. It’s a big deal, why wouldn’t we react?

Then , you are very emotional person. With that is nothin wrong, you cry because of happines, not bad situation. I hope than you will cry only because of happy situatins, but that can not be real life.

It’s sad when we have to feel embarrassed for feeling the way we’re really supposed to feel!! Don’t be embarrassed. Imagine how wonderful you make Our Lord feel at the extraordinary amout of love you have for Him! Focus on that, instead of those around you.

Seriously though, I am very expressive and I cannot hide what I am feeling well. I understand how you feel, especially as I do not want to draw attention to myself.

I usually sit in the back at Mass, so no one can see me if I get emotional. I wear a mantilla too, which while I have deeper theological reasons for wearing one, it also pleases me that this sort of covers my face from the side 👍

Then if I get teary, at least I feel a little concealed!

I just do not want to draw attention to myself, but I do not think it would be right to force myself to not feel these things if they are natural. So those are some little ways I try to keep my emotions “private” at Mass - if it helps :o
 
I too get teary eyed at mass when I truly pay attention to the significance of what is taking place-I mean, it IS Calvary all over again! That is a huge deal! I understand your dilemma though, it can be embarrassing or just confusing, especially because some people have never cried at mass so they might not understand your tears or emotion. If you are still having trouble, I recommend The Wonders of the Mass, which is a little booklet that reveals to us how glorious the Mass truly is! Then you will feel completely justified at crying at every mass you attend.

Try to remind yourself, “If I was present at Jesus’ cross on Good Friday, would I be emotional? Would I cry?”

Hopefully the answer is yes! And the Mass IS Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross made present to us today. Just meditating on the mass and the holy Eucharist should be enough to move nearly anyone to tears.

However, some people have never experienced tears at mass. This is because, as Padre Pio put it, crying about holy things is a gift of God. This gift is called ‘the gift of tears.’ The gift of tears is given to people as a consolation. People that feel moved to tears by the Holy Spirit often feel extremely close to Our Lord, and their ‘spiritual well’ is overflowing.

Take this gift with joy but remember that it may not stay forever! 🙂
 
I once cried so much during a Good Friday Mass my kids were frightened. I could not stop it and I literally wept. I was mortified, and people were staring, I could not stop myself. The church was too full to leave, and i didnt want to have to round up all the kids and make a bigger scene.I am not usually very emotional.
I do sometimes cry a little at regular Mass too.
 
There was another woman in the bible who cried tears on his feet and dried them with her hair which He praised very highly.

He must be pleased with your deep felt appreciation for Him. If only there were more who felt this way.
