A curious thing happened today. All the people from Mission #2 who like to go the increasingly popular Shooky's of a Thursday evening turned up at Mass first, without any prompting. That's right, with not a word from me, not even an annoyingly jocular clerical bribe, "Hey, there's a 10% discount if you go to Mass first," ha, ha, sorta thing. No, they just turned up.
Well done, team, and it makes sense. Our communion with one another flows from communion with God in the Mystical Body of Christ, nourished, vivified and deepened at the Altar. Get that right and the other follows naturally.
You know, I recall a priest in DC who told me, "We're at the point where the people here don't even think of doing a parish event without going to Mass first." Right on, worship, giving ourselves in love to God, comes first, always.
It's what we're created for, and we saw a little bit of that North Central Texas this evening.

When a flock is always fed at the same time, they'll learn to show up all on their own and on time, too. Well done.
Thanks, Wild, I appreciate that.
Seriously good people at that church, and I do not say that lightly.
LSP has encouraged me to run for Pope. I will do it and win by installing Dominion voting machines. I'll sit at home in Arizona in the bunker and will wait for the forgone conclusion.
White smoke, LL is Pope, and the Holy See would move to Arizona where it would be purged of communists. The Vatican Guard would be made up of Apaches.
Wait for it.
LL, I think the whole world awaits this moment.
It will be a fine papacy, a crusading and kinetic papacy.
Interesting Apache point.
