Today I am grateful for my church. Not just the building down the street, where they are happy to see me, and are so kind to my children - but the Universal Church. The people, the rituals, and the comfort of knowing that no matter where I am in the world, the same prayers and readings and Gospels are being told. I am always "home".
I love that there doesn't have to be a building. I have been part of mass in some incredible places (on a mountaintop, in the woods, in gymnasiums, etc) and when I have been sick, mass came to me. “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matt 18:20
I am thankful because I know that there have been many martyrs, (and many who STILL suffer) so that I can be a part of this body.
