Noon Mass near your workplace, on your lunch hour.

My daughter did that when she was working a job that required working on Sundays . . . .

(I try to do that during Lent but heaven knows I forget!)

When I was in college, between classes, homework and the job I held to put myself through college, I was working 120-130 hours a week. Week after week.

At first I thought that I couldn't spare the extra hour to go to church. So I skipped church. It really made little difference.

When I returned to church, I discovered that the 1 hour in church was MY time. No school or jobs to worry about for one hour. Just me and God, and a lot of other people needing me-God time.

It did wonders to 'recharge my batteries'. Church became something I looked forward to.

Just my story. Yours may be different.

Amazing that you can find the time to post cheesecake photos on Free Republic.

I invite you to ponder the hierarchy of things:

God
Family
Work/job
Other

Since God comes first in everyone’s life (otherwise, I would not be here, I follow this in setting my priorities.

God bless you in your striving for your faith.
