Sweet Friends,

After Mass, I want to clap. I want to clap and cry out, "Bravo, Bravo, Bellisimo!, Muchas Gracias Jesus!. I love you so much!! Thank you, thank for loving me!! The desire is so strong. But, I know that is not our custom and I would be shhhed in Mass and probably be excommunicated. It also seems since I want to so badly, I make fists to not do it. I am the weirdest person on the planet.

Love ya’ll,
Sheila
 
I don’t know what the question is but, I know you are not ‘weird’ for experiencing ecstatic feelings when you are so close to God at a time when you are also one with the body of Christ (as the congregation is the body).

Sometimes, my ecstasy is so overwhelming that I cry. Spend time in Adoration telling Jesus how much you love Him, thank Him for all your blessings, and tell Him face to face how grateful you are for Him opening your heart to communicate with you as one with Him.

Bless you and your love for Christ.
 
I dont think you are unusual in the conventional sense but i have to wonder what the joy is about- is it the perfection of the sacrifice or the way in which we are allowed to grieve-i understand your desire for all things CHRIST and the expression of such love-but one must wonder what there is to be joyful about-( in my uneducated opinion:])
 
A suggestion: find or make a group of people that share the same excitement to praise our Lord. Before or after mass. With the priests approval (I suppose). And maybe the choir/music could join you.
 
Not weird at all. Although, I do think it would be best to express that silently in prayer because people would definitely look askance at you. 🙂
 
You might want to seek out
a good group of Charismatic Catholics
that follow the Pope.

:blessyou:
 
You can make a great noise that will be heard in the Heavens that will thank Jesus more than some clapping. It’s called a Rosary!

I would advise (strongly) against any Charismatic group. Just my personal advice.

Pray on it.

There is some Asian country where the people clap for the consecration.

Absolutely.

Like I said they would probably look at me for having two heads. 😉

Love ya’ll,

Hi Friend,

Hearing that Jesus never leaves you, is with you, loves you is exhilarating. It’s that and tears combined at Mass. I feel joy and my heart leaps with love. I’m going through some rough and tough times that I can hardly bear, and to know Christ is there with me through it all makes me want to shout and well… amazes me and tears flow and I say thank you, thank you, thank you over and over again. To know that God gave up so much for us and one day He will wipe every tear away that we have ever shed makes me cry and bow my head. I guess it’s hard to explain. It’s not like the Priest makes a Speech and we clap. Even when I’m at home, I feel it. But more so, I cry for I can’t believe that despite a sinner such as I is loved by such a divine and almighty God. And there is no one on earth that has such Love. It truly astounds me sometimes and makes my jaw fall. Mostly tears flow because I’m loved that much.

Love ya’ll,
Sheila

P.S. I think I put this question in the wrong category. doh! Sorry. :o
