ATTITUDE.
One person is angry, the other is Okay. One feels slighted, the other thinks nothing of it. One person is always down, another decides to be happy.
When I was a kid we lived "on top of the church" and so I was always being sent over to serve when there was nobody else available in our tiny Catholic parish. One day, walking in to the sacristy, the pastor said with some surprise showing on his face, "You again!"
"Yeah," I said in a dejected tone, "I have to serve again."
The surprise look on his face changed to a very somber and serious one. "No," he said both kindly and emphatically, "you get to serve again."
On that note, this is reminder that tomorrow (Thursday) is a holy day of obligation. We get to go to Mass that day to celebrate something very near and dear to the heart of a Catholic: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Check you local parish(es) for Mass times.
For those near to St. Sebastian, we have a vigil Mass tonight at 7PM and on Thursday we have 9:00AM Mass, 5:15 extraordinary form, and a 7PM Mass.

Wow! A weekday Holy Day EF Mass! Wondefrul that you are making that available!!!
We are on vacation in Kuwait and will attend the 6:00 am mass at the only Cathedral in the country. There will be 11 masses said tomorrow in multiple languages and rites including Roman in English (AKA Latin). They have 11 masses every Sunday. Yes it is a blessing that we can go to mass, even in Kuwait.
That is cool. Thanks for sharing!
