Great. But, what I have sought and found is spiritual guidance that leads me to live in a way that those who do not know God might know Him because they know me.
It takes every-day, practical, spiritual inspiration about how to handle the office jerk rather than what I learned from Catholic Mass to teach me that.

Catholic Mass (liturgy) is all about praising God, not handling office jerks. Hopefully, being Catholic or Orthodox would teach you how to practice your faith in daily settings, by having the mind of Christ, and living your faith.

I have no idea what kind of "services" you attend (those "fell-good" sermons a la Joel Osteen and other clowns who sell how-to-handle-office-jerk pills) but I would imagine that you may have missed the train if you believed a service intended to glorify God was going to give you pointers on how to handle officer herks.

The Church offers spiritual advice to anyone who seeks them, privately, or in bible study groups and in spiritual question and answer sessions, etc. We leave the liturgy to sing praise to God.

Dear Friend, try prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament and you will learn to love those people you call jerks.

Prayer moves hearts Dear friend

Jesus is really physically present in the Eucharist at the Catholic/Orthodox Mass. It is really Him.Body Blood soul and Divinity. Come back to Him in the Eucharist

You have been deceived by no one.

The scripture you have is the word of the apostolic era witnesses to the resurrection.

As soon as ANYONE acknowledges those writings as the words of those Apostles or apostolic witnesses, then they come UNDER THE AUTHORITY of the Apostles rather than themselves having AUTHORITY OVER THE APOSTLES.

It only makes sense.

Jesus prayed for those who would believe through the Apostles’ word. That would include YOU and ME.
