As An Individual Lives, So Shall He Die

This article is about our privileges and duty to attend Mass. We all know

Catholics who do not come to Mass. We ask ourselves why. There are ma

reasons given, but it boils down to carelessness, laziness, worldliness, and

lack of moral backbone. I’ve asked priests this question and most of them

 believe lack of attendance might be the pursuit of a sinful life. Sin becom

habit, no matter which kind, and it works against the individual’s return to

Mass. You’ve heard the excuses: “Priests are in it for what they can get,”

“It’s just a racket and I don’t believe in it any longer”. Fr. John Reinkeme

once told me a true story about a young man, a student, who stopped atten

ing Mass and just abandoned his faith. He had similar excuses. Some mon

later, he was about to be arrested on a paternity charge. He seized an auto bile and tried to escape the police, but rounded a curve at full speed, over-

turned, was pinned underneath and badly mangled. “God”, he cried to the

state trooper who had caught up with him, “Get me a priest. I’m dying and

need a priest!” With eternity closing in upon him, he threw aside his mask

make-believe and faced the terrible reality. Blood was flowing from open

wounds in his neck. The trooper sped to the nearest Catholic Church and

returned with a priest. The young man was barely conscious with his glas

eyes distorted with the wild look of horror that came to him as he realized

was dying in mortal sin!

The priest bent over him to hear his confession. “God! God!”, he was m

muring half unconsciously, “It’s too late, too late.” A few convulsive twit

ings and he was dead. Scripture tells us, “As a man lives, so shall he die…

This young man was unwilling to make his conduct conform to the moralcode of his religious faith, so he sought to destroy his faith, saying, “It’s a

 bunk, It’s all a racket.” Father reminded me that this was not an isolated

case, for he had seen it duplicated many times during his many years as a

 priest.

As practicing Catholics, we are aware that we have an obligation to assi

at Mass on weekends and Holy Days. It is the central act of our worship. T

Mass continues the sacrifice of the Cross throughout the centuries. On the

Cross, Christ offered himself to glorify the Father and make reparation fo

sin; in the Mass, Christ still offers himself for these same reasons. It is an

incredible privilege to join with Christ in his sacrifice and to offer ourselv

along with Him, then receive our risen Lord, the body and blood of Christ

Holy Communion. Just as we recall great events in our history such as Ind

 pendence Day, we perpetuate the memory of what occurred then with somsort of 4th of July anniversary celebration. Jesus was aware of the human

tendency to forget and so His own arrangement was to give us the Mass to

a daily renewal of his Sacrifice on Calvary. In this way, His redeeming w

is made present for us so that we might be able to share in the benefits of

redeeming death. By the Mass, we cannot forget His death, and He doesn

forget our present needs. It is our duty as Catholics to join in this weekly

celebration. Many Catholics assist at Mass whenever it is offered. It is the

greatest prayer.  Article by Marcel Norma

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows,

and acquainted with grief; and we his as it were our

faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows;

Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised

for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;

and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have

gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;

and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

-Isaiah 53
