That God - doesn’t give me more - tougher things to handle.
I see some real courageous people - stepping up -
Even say, parents - who lost a child to death -
A soldier who lost a limb during combat -
Those are some very strong people - whom God has given this type of blessing to.
There - but for the grace of God.
 
Bless your heart. I well up during the readings too. Sometimes during the singing too.
 
Our Lords reaction was perfectly given to reason. In this case it was contolled. It was absolutely virtuous.
 
That is not actually IN the Bible 🙂

Scripture says that we will never be tempted to sin where there is not a way to escape the sin.

Somehow that gets twisted.

What is in the Bible is that every good gift comes from above.

I lost my compusure when st james was executed by the sword. I was the lector. I just started. I felt a very deep connection to it it’s like I was there. I left and the priest took over. Embarrassing as I kinda caused a scene but I really felt a profound connection and there was nothing I could do. I eventually fell out of favor there and it has been a few years most of the people I knew are gone and I no longer go there regularly. I lost some respect sure but I still think it was something special and I won’t elaborate further than that.
 
Amazing story, Sword.
I was asked to lector decades ago - and I did.
A lady basically asked someone before mass…type of thing.
She handed me a 3 ring binder that had the reading and the psalm responsorial -
“ get familiar with it “
Well, mass began - and soon it was time -
Everyone sat down - I stepped forward -
I was so honored -

Not to knock EWTN mass ,
but the first reading and psalms…
Sometimes the reader - doesnt have “ that connection “
I hope you still lectored -

It was Simon of Cyrene helping carry the cross for Jesus…
And the religious mocking Jesus on the cross…
And the two robbers finally ridiculing him too …
Till the good thief repented…and admited they were in the wrong …not Jesus.

I had to fight back the tears and the showing of emotion…

Well, yeah, it is part of the final arc of the crucifixion narrative. Getting emotional there is perfectly understandable
 
Oh yes I cry at regular intervals at mass. It’s such a beautiful thing. Almost every time at the consecration and then now and again during the gospel or particular prayers. It has got so I now make sure there is a tissue in my pocket as a matter of course. It’s a very emotional experience being in the presence of God. I don’t usually find that people notice though as I am quite discreet or they are if they notice. That is an expressive reading though, I think that the Word sometimes unites with the Spirit in us and it is just overwhelming so what can you do.
