Get Yourself to Mass

It’s Christmas Eve and with one son sick the schedule we had for today was disrupted but there is one thing that’s going to happen no matter what.

I’m getting to Mass, in fact I’m getting to Mass twice, I’m going with my wife at 10 PM and then I’m going to drop her off at home, pick up my other son and we’re going to hit a midnight Mass in Leominster.

Now Midnight Mass is a great thing but the Morning Mass on Christmas day is just as wonderful.

There are many people who go to Church only on Christmas and Easter. This annoys some people but in the end a person has to walk before they run.

If you haven’t been to Mass this year, what better day to begin than a Christmas Mass.

Let’s start with Christmas and see what we can do from there.

There are many sins that people have to deal with either out of habit or depression or simply due to temptation by the other side which are constant pressures that a Christian faces. While those temptations are part and parcel of life, and the reason why the Church offers the Sacrament of Confession to get you back on track, I have never been seriously tempted to reject a doctrine of the Church or the word of Christ.

I must however give the Devil his due that this move is the best one I’ve ever seen in the attempt to make me have second thoughts about the non-optional doctrine of loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you.

Can you imagine a fireman not saving a kid because they don’t like how the parents voted? Can you imagine an auto mechanic not properly fixing a brake line because the customer voted the wrong way? Could you imagine if the US Army coming across a concentration camp only feeding those with the right political views?

This woman and those who worked above her and below her can.

Christianity explicably rejects this but the left’s utilitarian Marxism embraces it. None of them should be trusted with any position of responsibility that affects the lives of others ever again.

That being said my rosaries today will be offered for her and her like and I suggest you do the same.

Last Saturday was the feast day of the Apostle of Mercy St. Faustina who was a Polish nun who died at the age of 38 just before the start of World War Two. In her famous diary (you can read it here) she recorded her prayer life and her encounters with Christ, the Blessed Mother and occasionally the enemy and his minions.

There are five shrines to Divine Mercy in the US one in Lombard Illinois, one in Baltimore, One in Chicago, one in Kansas City Missouri, but the National Shrine of Divine Mercy is in Stockbridge Massachusetts near the NY border.

WQPH 89.3 FM Shirley / Fitchburg which hosts my weekly radio show Your Prayer Intentions hosted a bus trip to that shrine on St. Faustina’s feast day last Saturday I attended.

While there I took advantage of the best insurance a person can get for a person or family, perpetual masses.

In addition to a bus load of pilgrims from several parishes in the state and from WQPH we had two priests with us. One Fr. Bob Doughty I interviewed as we were preparing to get on the bus to return. He was in the process of anointing those who wished it and dozens came to him from all the various buses there.

And Father Alex who is from Nigeria who I sat down and spoke with upon our return.

Due to some bus issues it was a short day at the shrine but a fine one. It is very likely that there will be another such trip next year on Oct 4th. If you have an interest in going comment on this post and when things start getting rolling in April I’ll give you a heads up

This month’s indulgence calendar is now available for download. Pete Rose, the first player I drafted in my 1969 Dynasty League and who led my team to a world series that season and to a division title this season (1972) died yesterday so alas he will have to wait till next month to be included.

Remember if you have a family member or friend you want included on next month’s calendar simply leave the person’s name in comments and we’ll be happy to do so and also remember them in prayer on our weekly EWTN radio show Your Prayer Intentions.
