It's Sunday

Three takeaways from Mass this morning:

1. Incense. Our priest was really heavy with the incense this morning. Each time I turn around, I still get a whiff.

2. Homily. The sin of a "good person" is refusing God's invitation for self-sacrificing service and love. (The Scripture reading was about the rich young man who was asked to give to the poor.)

3. Year of Faith. The Holy Father asks that we celebrate a Year of Faith beginning Ocober 11, 2012 and culminating November 24, 2013. During this time we can deepen our knowledge and practice of Faith. As one way to do this, our priest challenged us to go to: http://www.flocknote.com/catechism to sign up for reading the whole Catechism in one year by daily emails. 

I signed up. Hope I can persevere through November 2013!
