Have you spent some time yet with the scriptures you'll hear proclaimed at Mass this weekend?
Even just a few minutes of your time will open and prepare you to hear what the Lord will speak to us this Sunday...
For these texts and commentary on them - and for tips to help your kids prepare to hear the Word - check this earlier post.

I feel that EVERY weekend the scriptures are...
ReplyDeletechallenging-
even difficult-
to understand-
to grasp-
sometimes it is easier-
sometimes they do speak to me, more directly-
but, THIS weekend especially, I can't reach them-
it is especially difficult-
I think, maybe, it is good that I am at least trying-
spending some time with the scriptures,
and praying,
trying...
but, it is really hard when I don't feel anything...
I pray that I will feel-
something-
when I hear them tomorrow...
I just wanted to "follow-up" from my comment from last night, if I could-
ReplyDeleteI prayed that I would feel-
something-
at Mass today...
well, I did.
it was at the beginning of Mass, and it was only for a short time, but I did feel something-
something good-
something even a little hopeful-
at the end of Mass, thinking back on how I couldn't keep those good feelings...
I felt like I failed.
but then, I stopped myself- I felt grateful for the little bit of time at the beginning-
I remembered how I felt and it brought back those good feelings-
so, even though I couldn't keep it for long, I did have this experience and I am grateful for it-
and I thank God for it.
