Heaven and Battlefield (Part I)
The other day, a friend of mine at OLPH came up to me and said, "I just wanted to say that at Mass, you just light up! You glow. It makes my heart leap to see you. I don't know if you know, but I wanted to tell you." My first thought was, I don't want her looking at me! I in no way want to be a distraction from what is REALLY happening at Holy Mass. Do I know? Yes, in a way I do. After Holy Mass, I prayed and sought an answer of the Lord. I know how important the Holy Mass is for not just those in attendance but for the whole world, and I in no way want to be a stumbling block from those coming to this gift from God. "Lord, I don't want to be a distraction, I don't want people looking at me. What do you want me to do, I can go somewhere else to Mass, (then I thought, it's going to happen their too!) or I can sit in the back or I can cover my face." At that last suggestion I could feel that Lord did not want that...at all...
