Thumbnail image for 'Why go to Mass?'
I found this video on Awestruckglobal.com.  If you can, download it onto your phone and the next time a CINO (Catholic in Name Only) starts giving you reasons why they’re don’t go to church, let them watch this.

The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways

Yes He does. Recently I went on a job interview.  The only reason I did was because the job was within walking distance of my house.  It was a multi-purpose opportunity.  I could get my exercise in and use my big, bad SUV a lot less. The phone interview went well and I got the... Read more »

My father-in-law relished any knock on the door that challenged his Catholic beliefs.  He would whip out his bible and go head-to-head with anyone who... Read more »
