I know, I'll tell you how I know. I was raised catholic and stood amongst throngs of glassy eyed “faithful listeners” checking their watches and commending the priest for finishing the redundant ceremony in under an hour. It's like a weekly union meeting - as long as you show up you're in. Keep it. Forfeit your chance for a deeper, meaningful, heartfelt, spontaneous relationship with Christ and cling to the comfort in the picked-over readings; scripted, empty, required responses and toss in some Latin now and then for a flavor of authenticity. I'll get by praying from my heart and opening my eyes to the majesty of His creation that is already here. “Lord hear our prayer.”

You know squat about me.
You know about YOU.

I am a Lector at Mass. You have no clue how much studying I do for that calling as well as preparing my 11-year-old for her readings.

You may have sat in mass yawning and ignoring what was given to you. Pity you chose to ignore the wonder of the Holy Mass.

Another Reformer in the making? God is God; your life is your life. Just because you don’t like His Institution doesn’t make you right and God wrong.

Our mass lasts well over an hour.......most do.....you have been gone a long time, pal.
