To: old and tired

When I was chosen to teach a class and read up on what to teach, I read something that I knew in 2nd grade but had forgotten, yetI’ll be judged on it because I know it, I learned it. it was that it is a mortal sin to miss mass on sunday without a good reason(a reason God would think was a good reason).

so, we go every week for the past eighteen years after that. Boredom, rain sleet snow hypocrisy of human priests, bad music,, holding hands, none of it matters, because eternity is not to be fooled with.

Not required or desired if participation would lead to a weakening of your faith (and outright hostility at the contemporary church). Been there, done that, only Tridentine Mass for me now when available.
