This week my Sunday worship was not my ordinary worship experience. Typically, I attend the Sunday evening - 5:30 mass. This week my family decided to attend the Saturday evening - 5:30 mass. The Sunday evening mass is our contemporary, I know the songs and sing along. It comes towards the end of a long church day for me. I generally sit up-front and I am tuned in. I generally get recharged at this mass.
This week was different. Saturday I spent the day at Lay Ministry training and was drained when I got home - sitting all day in class is for young people. We had already decided to go to Saturday night mass as a family - due to the Super Bowl we do not have Sunday evening faith formation programming. During the school year we rarely go to mass together because I am busy at Faith Formation all Sunday morning and the family goes to 10:30 mass. The Saturday night mass is the "old person" (older than me) mass. Music is very traditional. I basically yawned through the entire service. I do remember the 1st scripture was from Deuteronomy and the sermon was about mental illness and demonic possession. Because I am not going to my regular service tonight, I am missing our new priest and his dynamic lessons.
I pray next week is better.
