I had folks doing everything possible to get me to attend their church.

I said leave me the hell alone to each of them.

I was at the gym working out on a Sunday Morning -—Nov 1st, 2009—All Saints Day-—and I had the sudden urge to attend mass. I went and I haven’t missed a Mass yet.

Everyone has to have their own calling, you cannot force,urge,threaten one to attend Church.

Someone asked me to go to Mass and I became a Catholic a little over a year later. It’s been nearly thirteen years now.

Forcing and threatening are definitely out. Urging, however, is a viable thing to do.

Thanks for your post.

God isn’t like an ugly girl looking for a date for the prom. We don’t have to resort to tricks or gimmicks to induce people to have a relationship with Him.
