attend mass regularly

I was doing well for about a month, and then I stopped going (again). I’m going to renew my desire to attend Mass, and hopefully I’ll be able to stick with it this time.

I went to Mass this morning. I usually enjoy the service, but I’ve been very lax about attending church since I started college. Hopefully I’ll be good about not making excuses about going to Mass this semester and it will become a weekly habit.

it was the first time in months that i’ve stepped into a church. it wasn’t mass, but i’m still trying to find the right church and community.
i don’t quite think it’s a good fit, but i’m willing to give it another try. and it felt good to take one step closer to rebuilding my relationship with God and focusing on my spirituality.

Though I went to mass all the time as a child, I began to lapse as I got older (and my family began to loose interest). I’ve been feeling a void in my life recently though that I know going to Mass would fill, I just need to get out and start going. I’ve found the church I want to attend (since I’ve moved too far from the one I used to attend) and taken a look at their schedual and it looks entirely do-able with my schedual.

They also have a list of activities to get involved in which I will look further into once I settle in.

Even took the girl I’m seeing and her mom to mass this past weekend. They’re both Baptist, and I think that they liked mass. They kept asking questions, and I did my best to answer the questions well.

My question, and maybe someone can answer this, is when is this goal achieved? How many weeks, months, or years before I’ve completed this thing?

Yeah, I haven’t been doing so well on this one. Going out on the weekends is no good. I usually can’t get up on Sunday and Saturdays I’m busy. Going to need some work on this one.

My big problem, with this goal, is that I’m usually out late, on Saturday night, and can’t pull myself out of bed, on Sunday morning. Last Saturday night, however, I could have been in bed by two, yet chose to stay up and watch The Ten Commandments, on t.v., until six in the morning. This is a film I’ve watched at least thirty times, before, but I just could not pull myself away until the end. (The highlight does come at the end, after all, when Moses comes down from the mountain with the commandments to find everyone breaking all ten rules, at once, and hurls the tablets at the crowd.)

I need to either stay up until morning and catch the seven o’clock mass, or attend the anticipated mass, on Saturday night. We’ll see how I do, this week-end.

Went to mass tonight. I’m off to a good start!
