One of my favorite things about Catholicism is its abundance of Masses.
Sunday? Mass.
Feast of St. So-and-So? Mass.
Remembrance of some wonderful event? Mass.
Someone born? Mass with baptism.
Someone died? Mass.
Someone sick? Mass.
Someone acted the fool and hosted a black mass? COUNTER MASS.
A bunch of college students got together to discern their vocations at a retreat? Mass.
Planned Parenthood dismembered children and called it progress? Mass.
New church built? Mass.
New organ installed in an old church? Mass.
Every day in between? Mass.
I truly love that our answer to everything life could possible throw at us is “let’s get together and worship Jesus Christ.”
We’re so into Masses priests have to be restrained by Canon Law to celebrating only two per day, three on extra-special days, unless their position or necessity warrants more…
Is this Mass Effect?
