The Son of God spokes: “See how I died for love, yet nobody repays me with love, but they take from me what is justly mine. It would be just if people improved their lives in proportion to the efforts it cost to redeem them. Now, however, people want to live all the worse in proportion to the pain I suffered in redeeming them. The more I show them how abominable their sin is, the more boldly they want to sin. Look, therefore, and consider how it is not without cause that I am angry: They manage to change for themselves my good will into anger. I redeemed them from sin, and they get themselves increasingly entangled in sin. So, my child, give me what you are obliged to give me, I mean, keep your soul clean[1] for me, because I died for it in order that you might keep it clean for me.”

[1]. “So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.” cf. (2 Peter 3:14)

And what better time to “clean our souls” than the Season of Advent? What better season to cleanse ourselves than the season preceeding the Feast of Our Lord’s birth?

Jesus waits patiently for us in the Sacrament of Penance. Go to Him.

God Bless!
 
Yes…we forget the painful reality of the Lord’s sacrifice. I myself complain about the boredom of Mass and often don’t attend, which is scandalous. My discomfort is NOTHING. It’s absolutely nothing. I owe my life and salvation to Jesus Christ. 😦

Then attend Mass. Once you understand the meaning of Mass, you won’t feel bored, you cannot wait to attend Mass.

I recommend you to read Scott Hahn’s book “The Lamb’s Supper - Mass as Heaven on earth”. This book will change your view of Mass, you will get so excited and cannot wait to attend Mass. God bless!
