GO GET WHAT YOU NEED! NOBODY NEEDS TO GO GET IT FOR YOU!

 


WHEN YOU ARE NOT BEING SPIRITUALLY FED, FEED YOURSELF!

Don’t just sit there and starve to death spiritually!

 

When you were a child, you needed someone else to feed you. As an adult, you have learned to feed yourself. The same rings true about your Sunday Mass attendance.

There are adult parishioners who believe they need to be fed spiritually by somebody else. Since that help doesn’t always come, you will need to take immediate action to save your own spiritual life. Whatever you do, don’t just sit there and starve to death spiritually just because someone won't serve you! Get up, stand on your own two feet and learn to feed yourself spiritually!

Start by "wallowing" in the Word. Read it, re-read it, study it and pay careful attention when it is read at Mass even if the homily is disappointing. Feed on the Word!

Next, turn your attention to the altar and deliberately and consciously choose to “feed on” the Body and Blood of Jesus, our food and drink for the journey, so that you will have the strength to carry out the Word that you have just "wallowed" in!
