Starting this coming Monday (if you aren't doing this already), get yourself to daily Mass. Try to arrive ten minutes early, and offer the Mass for the four intentions we must always remember: (1) Adoration ("I love you, dear Lord"); (2) Thanksgiving ("I thank Thee for blessings too numerous to mention"); (3) Reparation ("I am truly sorry for my sins and and ask for help in amending my life"); and (4) Impetration ("Dear Lord, send your grace into my heart). Offer the Mass in union with the intentions of the priest, and ask God for one blessed favor--the grace to return to Mass again the next day.
This is what life is all about.
Thank you, Alice.
