Some youth ask themselves WWJD - What would Jesus do? when they face a situation like the one you are now facing. When we pray about it and sense we are drawn to speak or act we must like Jesus be ready to weather any storm we stir up. Or we can shake the dust off our feet and go to another parish. God bless you.Fr.

I have languished in mediocrity for years, now. Any attempts at "volunteering" my services, getting our parish children involved in Adoration time is met with "no". I have much desire to get involved. I see my friends, those that have left the Church, and are now running around busy in non-Catholic parishes with much to do. Involving their young children & teens in Church centered activities. My parish offers me none of this, but I have the Mass & Jesus in the Eucharist, which I could never leave. It is burdensome for me. I am uplifted hearing of a Congress like this, and wish I had something remotely similar in my area. It is sad. Our Adoration hours that we worked so hard to obtain, were discontinued by the new pastor coming in. I don't understand. I don't understand our priests being such minimalists when people hunger for more. It's easy to be minimal in your faith. I strive for more and I can't get it? Should I just relax and be a Sunday only Catholic? That's what priests & my parish seem to be telling me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
