THE CATHOLIC MASS: HOW I UNDERSTOOD IT IN MY FAITH JOURNEY.

THE MASS:
How I experienced and understood the Mass in my faith journey.
I have been going to church every Sunday since I could remember. Every Mass that I attend
throughout my life I have felt that I have been getting closer to God. I sometimes look
forward to attend Mass and sometimes I do not. I know it is only an hour a week that I
have to spend with God but some sometimes I feel that, that is to long and sometimes I
get bored at Mass. I know I should not think that, but I think there are a few things
that the Catholic Church Committee should do to make Mass a little more interesting. At
some churches they have youth ministry that kids can go to and learn about God in a way
that they can understand it, but all of that ends when one is around the age of 10 or 11.
Unfortunately my church never had a youth ministry. I think that could be one of the
reasons why I never was really interested in the Mass until I was like 13 or 14 years of
age. 
The Mass at the Catholic Church is universal everything that they do in a Mass in Baton
Rouge they do the same in Rome, exceptions for different languages that are spoken. That
is what I think is so unique about the Catholic Church everything that goes on in the
Mass is the same throughout the whole world. What I find most interesting about the Mass
is the Scriptural readings; I find them interesting because it teaches me about all of
the biblical characters. I think it is important for all teens to know about their
religions history. It teaches them where they came from and shows whom there religious
forefathers were. 
The teaching of the Mass should always be used. Everyone should be kind to one another
and show respect to one another. I know that it is just about impossible not to sin but
if one does sin which everyone does just about on a everyday basis, one should ask God to
forgive them for sinning. The Church teaches us to try not to sin we have been hearing it
ever since we were able to understand rite from wrong. If you think about it the Mass is
a place to forgive God for your sins. That is where I get too the church is basically the
center of your whole entire life, it teaches you rite from wrong. 
Catholic schools are the big reason why so many kids attend Mass. Unfortunally there are
some families out there that do not attend Mass on a regular basis. That is the advantage
of parents sending there kids to catholic schools. The kids can go to mass and get a
strong understanding of the whole idea of catholic faith. Yet there are also some
families that can not afford to pay the tuition for catholic schools that is where the
family needs to make there kids get involved with Christian services like volunteering
and attend mass on a regular basis.
The Mass to me is a sign of independence from your everyday life. It is a one on one time
with God. Your special time to get away from everything else that is going on in your
everyday life. That is what I think of the Mass and everything that goes on with the
Catholic Church.
