Hi Jh I think that even though we are off topic you hit on the most importatant fact in Catholic History. That fact is what keeps me going to the CC not matter what. And that is authority! The CC is the only Church that has the authority to turn bread and wine into the Living Christ right before my eyes. Now that is awesome.
Today if Good Friday I will spend most of my day in Church, which I know many others here will be also ( can’t get into much trouble today
) and while I am in Church I will pray for each and everyone of us that we can continue to spread the good news the best we can also.
While I admire lb and tweety and know they are doing the best they can, we are also doing the best we can.
Last night we cleared the front of the Church before it was over, and when we did that it felt so empty. All is bare today,and today is a day for great suffering for our Lord. Today I will feel great pain, and great loss. But tommorow I will return to the Church and make my Lords house full and beautiful once again. And then we will celebrate his return once again in joy and happiness.
But for today I cannot help but feel great sorrow and pain and emptyness. I always get that way on this day.
My Dad was a strong man, I never saw him cry, But I always remember on this day we spent in church big tears would roll down his face, I do not think he ever knew it. I never knew why, until years later. Here on this day he was there with my Lord at the Stations walking with Christ in his mind step for step. Today I will also understand once again those tears. And without my knowledge (until my make-up burns my eyes) I also left the Church and some how will go back in time. Sorry for rambeling. But God bless you all and may all find a special peace today for what God did for us. To know no matter how far apart and separated we may be we are all one. All One in Christ!
