"In the early days of the Church,
Christians risked their lives just to attend Mass and to receive Holy
Communion. Today, the majority does not attend Sunday Mass.Rarely do they or the thousands who only come
on Christmas and/or Easter hear of the eternal consequences for skipping Mass.In some places, it is more important not to
offend their “feelings” than to evidence zeal for the salvation of their
souls."

Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings. One Bread, One Body
Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence. He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence. Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence. (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
