I'm going to mix things up a little bit.

I find myself often being sad during mass for some oddball reason. The sadness actually feels good though. It's like there is this emptiness and I feel it so badly, and I can wait for it to be fulfilled. It's the most surreal feeling I know. I really believe that there is a person missing in my life, and I am (or at least I should be) willing to wait for God's plan to unfold. Sometimes I wonder if I should even be feeling that way at all, because it isn't something that just goes away upon receiving the Eucharist. [i]I really believe God has planted an empty spot in my soul, buit I second guess myself when I still feel empty after mass.[/i] But I think it's a peaceful sadness too.

But that is what I have been contemplating at mass lately, and the sadness often intensifies in the presence of Jesus. Please tell me if you think I'm on the wrong track here.
