Why go to Mass?
A Catholic wrote a letter to the editor of the Diocesan newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to Mass everyday. “I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time and the priests and deacons are wasting theirs by giving homilies at all.”
This started a real controversy in the “Letters to the Editor” column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
“I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this… They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today!.. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!”
When you are DOWN to nothing… God is UP to something!
Faith sees the invisible,
Believes the incredible and
Receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical AND spiritual nourishment!
