Sometimes people question why bother with church or prayer
or mass? We search for reasons as to
why, nowadays, so few attend mass on a regular weekly basis. We speculate about
the manifold influences of secularism, popular culture, relevance, the
scandals, the pressures of life and so on. But, perhaps there is a more basic
root cause of a lack of attendance?
What if people really felt wanted and welcomed at their local parish mass and community? What if their experience of joining with other believers (including people with doubts, questions and struggles) was so uplifting and so life-giving that they wanted to come back the next week?
