Phooey, go to church.
You may not be ‘invited’ by the parishioner's, but go anyway.
You may not feel you should take the sacraments, go to church, anyway.

Christ will forgive this ‘transgression’ as there are many more and many worse that you (and I) have committed.

Melas, I am talking (lecturing?) you as much as myself. My wife was raised Catholic, I was not and never formally converted. We are both in our second marriages, and together now 29 years. This marriage, I think, is what is my life's mission. For me, marrying this woman and raising her child, by her first husband, is my mission in this life.

We all need to go to church, for our own good.

Good advice on the going to church.

We never know who will step into our path that can help us with something.

Or we never know what the priest will say that will set our world aright again.

Great advice, Tahoe.

“Christ will forgive this ‘transgression’ as there are many more and many worse that you (and I) have committed.”

And me.

Wonderful post! All are welcome in the parish I attend. We all are in need of Christ’s gift... precisely because we are sinners.
