I want to attend Mass again, but I don't feel fully right doing that considering that I don't agree with the Church on a lot anymore. Catholic is still where I feel most at home, but I know I can't take Communion by their standards. I guess it would be okay to go back and just not receive...feels odd though. Maybe I can just go pray sometime when they're open. I think that would make me happy.
I'm not living up to Catholic standards, since I don't agree with some of them. But I don't feel like I'm living badly. I'm so happy lately, even though there's been a lot of stress lately.
Being an adult is sooooo much harder than I thought it would be, which makes me giggle. I can't quite afford life, but somehow I live. I haven't lost my apartment yet, and I've been on my own for a year--that's progress. The biggest loss if I did lose it would be my pet bunny; Billee is my number one fella!
Speaking of fellas, I'm so in love. I met this guy on a dating site (LOL!), and it actually worked out. We're both epic nerds...we've got a ridiculous amount of stuff in common. Before I met him, I didn't believe in soul mates. I hope he keeps me.

Remember, no need to receive Jesus at every Mass. Spiritual Communions are laudable. We're all failures at being Catholic...I fail very often. I astrive for holiness, and usually by my own denial I don't have the grace to be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joe...I wasn't sure if it was acceptable to be a Confirmed Catholic and not take Communion, because I'm a convert and still not well-versed in everything.
