Go to Mass every day for a year

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I've been to Catholic ceremonies. I see the statues and the priest robes and some sort of throne he sat on (like he was a king) and people looking at Mary statue when they come in and bowing and saying something. The whole thing gave me the heebie-jeebies. The hair on my neck was raised. I was sooo glad to get out of that place. I hope I never have to go to another but I have Catholic friends and am just a marriage or death away from another visit.

Did you see or hear anything like this?

I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest...

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”...

“Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever...”

He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne...

“a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head... She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”
