My faith was pushed to the freakin limit in my 1st year at college. I’d studied so hard for a test, yet screwed up. In my desperation, I told God that even if he forsakes me, I wouldn’t forsake him. He rescued me on the final, and I landed an A in that class. I was taking a class that was usually taken by juniors/seniors.
I have/had a friend who is a non-practicing Catholic, who shared some struggles with me, and it was through those struggles that I realized how blessed I am to be a practicing Catholic. My friend’s Dad was on drugs, family broken apart, etc. God bless my friend.
People who dont go to mass are facing extremely tough lives. They only pretend that all is going well on the outside. Man, without the Eucharist, we’re screwed.
I know I have no power to change other people’s beliefs, but I realize the significance of the words at mass:
“Blessed are they who are called to the supper of the Lamb.”
I don’t know if a lotta people realize this, but WOW, not a lotta people are given the chance in this life to come to mass. I hate it when people see the mass as an obligation, not a gift. The mass is like a Rolls Royce, but a trillion times more important. It should be coveted, not spurned. It should never be a bore. Many others on earth don’t have the chance to be in the presence of the Living God, the divine Trinity, let alone receive that LIVING GOD into themselves. Isn’t that crazy? What God loves a person so much that he wants to be within us, in the form of bread? How can people reject our God? I’ll admit it’s not easy sometimes, and even I need to remind myself that.
Just remember, being Catholic is a privilege. One that many people cannot have in this life. They were not chosen, but we were. Remember Jesus’ words: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” Realize, and be grateful. (This I tell myself as well. I’m not a super strong Catholic either, but I strive to be)
Stay Blessed.
