The Catholic Mass is maybe the most beautiful thing we can witness on this earth. I am so grateful for it.

I am too, Kelly. I have attended a non denominational evangelical Jesus/Gospel centered church for most of my adult life. This morningтАЩs service we studied Deuteronomy 17, and I so appreciate the study of the OT, and itтАЩs through line to the NT. This is church where I was taught to read the Bible, and so very thankful for that. But was also raised Catholic, where missaletteтАЩs did most of the interpreting. When I visit my Mom I do enjoy Mass very much. The smell of incense and sprinkle of holy water on palm Sundays from priest brings me much joy, as does reciting the Nicene Creed.

I just finished reading Tom HollandтАЩs 2019 book тАШDominionтАЩ which recounts 2000 years of Christian history. Tom was brought back to the Church by his research of the book. Highly recommend.

Lol reminds of the smells and bells comments I hear. But glad that you have found a church that helps you to stay focused on who is most important in the faith.
