Going to Mass

Yesterday, as I was driving to church, I have tons of questions in my head, question like, I’m living my life as how God wants me to live it? All things that I write, said and in some way teach, I do it for His glory and only His glory? Do I believe sincerely in Him? Do I believe in His word and work? Suddenly, I was afraid that my faith was vanishing.

I start praying to Him to teach me what I need to do, send me some guidance to see which path follow, a path that make feel security of what I’m doing in His name. Graciously the second lecture from yesterday mass was I think an answer for my conversation with God. Somebody ask me this weekend if what I write here is just for “apparent something” or because I truly believe it and is how I live? I think that comment make me think for a while (like I don’t think enough!).

I think my answer is yes; I live and mean what I write here.  This is the way I think. Not always is correct or no everybody agree with me but is how I perceive things of how God wants me to do things. Also, I find out that is very helpful for me, because I get to read other people vision of faith, which help me to learn another way of faith, and a good way of see God’s and helps with my insecurities. 

My kids and other people that I know ask me why go to church? Why we have to be in church if we can pray anywhere, if we can have contact with God 24/7, if we can open the bible whenever we want? That is true, God is available for us 24/7 the 365 days of the year, but going to church make me feel closer to Him, not only because of the present of His body in the Eucharist, but because I receive answers, homework, encouragement, healing, friendship, wise, and other things that I discover from time to time when I go to church. We are one body in God and make stronger our faith when we are part of a community, and share our faith within that community.

What will break easier one single wood stick or 100 woods sticks together?  

1 Corinthians 10:31-33 – 11:1

³¹ So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. ³² Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— ³³ even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.  ¹ Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
