The Authentic Voice of God 

When we come to Mass, we are guaranteed to hear the authentic voice of God.  The Church says in its teachings that missing weekend Mass is actually a ‘grave sin’.  The Catechism teaches, "Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit grave sin" (#2181).  It is a grave sin because it is considered a ‘spiritual sin’ and not a moral sin.  We deprive our souls which are nourished by the Word of God and the Eucharist.  This is vitally important because so often we may think God’s word aligns with our opinions and actions, but this is not always the case.  The scriptures, informs, directs, challenges, and offers hope and guidance for our lives.  The scriptures challenges and supports us in our daily living.  The scripters tells us we are not alone and we need not be overburdened by the challenges life offers.  If we listen to the Word of God and apply it to our lives God promises to offer support and guidance, hope and inspiration.  God’s Word nourishes and strengthens us for the weeks ahead.  All this for just one hour a week.  A good return on our investment dont you think?
