thank you for your comments. You’ve thrown out some good seeds on this rocky soil. You never know, maybe that’s my way back. God bless you.
Dick, I’ve sat through some really awful “Church of Nice” celebrations so I know where you’re coming from. Homilies that focus on “social justice” and rock-and-roll guitar masses that make me cringe. However, in instances like these, I try to remember why I am there: to praise and glorify God, ask for forgiveness and the grace to sin no more, to thank him for the incredible gifts I have received, and, most importantly, to receive our Lord and Savior in the Holy Eucharist.
I think the other Freeper’s advice is very good. Go and spend time with our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration. I believe that is when my faith and love for the church and all its treasures began to deepen. I haven’t been in a while and I know I miss it. God bless. I will pray for you and your reconversion.
