I just recently subscribed when my friend sent me a link to your last 2 posts. She sent them to me because we both have felt the same way you did. I applaud your courage to post how many of us feel. When my family moved 5 years ago, we left a parish that fed us– both as a community and with beautiful, thoughtful liturgy. I had many similar experiences to yours of sitting in church where we live now holding back my frustration and anger… so much so that we decided to attend a parish 25 minutes away instead of going through the motions at the parish that is literally across the street! I agree that the Eucharist should keep us coming, but we should NOT be complacent with bad liturgies and bad homilies. And yes– there is such a thing! I have been to many. If it was only about Jesus in the Eucharist, then Jesus would have only prayed in solitude, but he didn’t. He calls us to be a community of believers to come to Mass to be fed and to then go out and spread the GOOD news! Vibrant liturgies and practical homilies help us to do that. Thank you for having “big brave”! (I love the song, too).
Cathy

Your words are always amazing.

I am honored to have a shout out here. Sara truly and completely cuts to the core with this song. I am so glad it “speaks to you.”

Rock on, and keep speaking your truth…it really *is* hard and scary and oh. so. worth. it!

Thank you! When it’s time, the complete honesty will come. You won’t be able to hold it back. 🙂
And I’ll be there to support you if you need it.
