To: Miss Marple

I will miss you, Miss Marple. Your posts have helped and sustained me throug the years and I thank you. Keep the faith. I too suffer at times with all the distractions caused by poor music, or too Glee-like music at Mass.

However, I remind myself that my job is to focus on what is going on at the altar and I will let no man lessen the Eucharist for me. It is just between me and God. Everything else is superfluous. I have begun a “Mass Journal” that I bring to Mass and in it I record the message of that Mass that struck me in my journey to be the best version of me I can be. Maybe doing that will help you too. It focuses the mind on the message.

When we suffer abuse for being Catholic we can count ourselves lucky to suffer those stripes for Him. God bless you always.

You sound like you may have heard Matthew Kelly somewhere, or seen his DVD "The Seven Pillars of Catholic Spirituality", and/or read his book "Rediscover Catholicism".

If so, wasn't that story about the blood from the boy powerful?

(He has a great sense of humor too.)
