Hello, for the past month I have been un motivated to go to mass. I have gone to church events, but not mass. It started off when I was feeling especially at a crisis with my faith and so I decided I wanted to explore other faiths and ideas to be sure of my faith. I decided this all in the course of a few hours. No mind you, there are some things I feel I have not found good enough answers for from the Catholic church, but my faith has led me through a lot and I have never gone so long without going to mass. I have had periods where I was not really living my faith and confused, but never where I felt so anxious about going to mass. I tried talking about it with a couple of people, but their advise is to just go to mass any way. I have so many things I need guidance on in my faith, but I do not have a spiritual director, and I also find it hard to except the idea that a spiritual director is someone who you HAVE to be obedient to. It just is hard for me to trust someone enough to have that kind of direction. Could I have your prayers, advice and maybe some online community to help sort me through this time? If anyone has any suggestions, or wants a mass accountability buddy, it might be helpful. I really want peace in my faith, and fire. I was a member here years ago, and I am back now hoping to support my faith with some outside community help. Thanks.
 
Your friends were right in telling you to “Go to Mass”. By failing to do so you place yourself in Mortal Sin. I recommend going to confession and bring up your aridity of late for some spiritual direction. This week is the feast of the Ascension of Jesus, a Holy Day of Obligation. Go to Mass. Go to Mass. Go to Mass. Everyone throughout there lifetime goes through aridity (dry periods). The most important thing is to keep praying and fostering your relationship with God. Receive the Eucharist as often as you can after you go to confession for missing Mass. Come here to CAF for support if you need to. That is one thing I love about this site…Support for our faith is endless.
