one more reason why I love Mass!

i noticed something pretty cool lately...that the Scripture readings during Mass often fit exactly what I'm dealing with. i think this is something that God has been showing me lately. it's really interesting, because - the readings are pre-planned...they're according to the liturgical year, in the missal.

last night...I felt I had wayyy too many worries and burdens. Today during Mass, the Gospel reading was:

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

the day I was doubting my conversion to the Catholic church...the Scripture was about Peter and the 'keys'. (so perfect!)

the day our car hit a little bird and it fell to the ground :( (I felt pretty sad about that) AND the morning I felt like I was totally abandoned by God:

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. "

:) praise God! i could barely wake up this morning, but now i'm soo glad i went to Mass.
