When you can't make Mass..

 Let me tell you, you can always make Mass. You simply go to www.mass-online.org and there will be a Mass happening there and then somewhere in the world. It was around five o'clock in the evening and I was away from home. 

Initially I was looking for a 'mass near me' but it was a bit of a struggle and I wasn't entirely sure where I was and was settled and so thought this would be a good idea. Turns out, it was.

Dallas, that's where I go for mass online if I miss it here. This man is excellent. At first they were talking about donuts and he is voice is quite frankly hilarious. You simply can't stop listening to it.

The church is plain but comes through very well on the screen and they clearly have a multi cam system that also shows the congregation.

I did donate ten dollars because its so totally worth it to know that you can just make time for Mass in the evening.

 

 Its not all about God, in many cases its about making time for yourself. You will find God will be there, if you only stop for a moment. 

Mass is such a great way to switch off and tune in all the same time. Certainly the Dallas service always seems the same. Which is reassuring, I'm not sure about my local one. I'll be paying more attention this week but I did feel that Tuesday was extra special. 

The main thing is to get there isn't it? We know that. And if you can't get there, just go anyway at a time that suits you. I'm not obsessive about every single day but to my mind, at this stage you want to be every other day at least. Hit it four times a week. Its an hour if that. 

Sounds a bit much to say, 'else you won't get eternal life'. I mean, who knows? But why run the risk? 

Meanwhile I'm still getting the readings to my phone at 7am and keeping up with those and have only missed one day so far on the pray as you go app. ]

Overall am pretty pleased. We do have the Conservative leadership thing coming up next Monday so we will se how that goes. I haven't voted because I don't support either of them but as I say, I have supported the party for many years and anyone who possesses the title Prime Minister deserves respect and support. 

That's not going to be easy for me at this stage. Lets see how things pan out but I do feel the world is in a bit of a mess really and that queue for the Eucharist tells me that only a few people realise.
