[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I can find multiple hours in our weekend for sports or parties or play dates, I figure I have zero excuses not to find 1 hour for Mass. But you won’t have to look far for an excuse if that’s what you want.

My mother always said that God gives us 168 hours a week and only wants one back from us, so we can at least give him that.  [/quote]

You and your mom know how to make people feel guilty.[/quote]

DP. Being temporarily ashamed of not doing something you shouldn't isn't a bad thing. It's a good thing. It's how the conscience works.

Then you (if Christian, I acknowledge not everyone on this thread is) take that sin of omission to the cross, acknowledge Jesus died for it and fully paid the penalty, marvel at how amazing he is to be willing to suffer infinite wrath on our behalf for sins tiny and massive, and fill your mind with how much Jesus loves you.

At the end of the process, if conscience is doing it's job, you should feel more beloved and joyful than you did before, and the shame should be turned into resolve to show your love for the one who loves you by doing what he asks.

Not always an easy process, but always a good one.[/quote]
