Goin To Mass But Don't Wanna Go To Sleep.

[AugustineA]

But it's 3 am and I'm likely the only one up on the phatforum. 

 

Haven't been to Mass in like multiple years, so I won't be able to go up for the Eucharist. I think there are some liturgical changes that were happening when I last stopped going. Should be goooood, Except I am a bit anxious. The closest church is in Chinatown as well, and I'm thinking I will stick out like a sore thumb.

 

:pope2:

Augustine, you will be fine... and God will be THRILLED to see you there!

 

There have been some changes in the wording, so be sure to get hold of one of the cards or a missalette so you will have the new wording and won't feel so lost.  (A lot of people still use the cards, because it is hard to remember the new words sometimes...)

 

Will hold you in prayer, and hope you have a wonderful first Mass back!

Never been to Mass in Chinatown, how'd it go.

Thanks for the prayers Anneline!

 

It was a pretty awesome experience. I skipped this morning by sleeping in and making excuses. Then this afternoon I was thinking, oh my roommates/siblings will know, I should just not go. But I ended up going to the late Mass, and it was great. The church was PACKED. We had people standing at the back and sitting on benches along the side. There were lots of younger people as well as older. It was mostly Philipino and Chinese, but that doesn't matter. Everyone was very nice. 

 

Now for confession..
