The reason for attending Mass? It's not that we keep the Mass; rather, it is the Mass that keeps us!

As my mother became older, she could not attend mass so I had the priest come over for both of us

Don't get it. "Mortal" and "Venial" sin. Who decides? In God's eyes sin is sin. Jesus came to Earth to live a sinless life and be a perfect sacrifice to atone for our sin. It is up to us to believe this and ask God for forgiveness. Our own "righteousness" doesn't cut it. People, please read the Bible. God offers salvation for those who believe Jesus paid the price on the cross. Anyone out there not sure this is true but wants to know, don't be afraid to go hardball with God to ask Him for the truth. If you really mean it, He will let you know in a way personal to you. This makes His day. Been there, done that. Best decisions I ever made.

It doesn't matter if you are sick or not. If one love a woman they do everything to see her, ( a woman) sick or not sick, but when come to Jesus many people always find 100ts of excuses or they ask a priest to find one. Do they love God? Do they think God doesn't see that they dont really love him? When you love someone, you go to see him any time and even in sickness unless you are so sick you are not able to move or endanger others . This is such a huge common sense.

You are right to say that the ten commandments are about loving God and loving one another, but please let us not try to teach love through fear. Indeed we express our love of God through caring for one another and not just on Sunday. Through embracing the commandments to love we open our hearts to peace and joy. This same peace and joy cannot be contained without expressions of gratitude. This same gratitude is the essence of our Eucharistic celebration and in this communion with God our hearts can find a oneness with the Source of all love and compassion.

I cannot entirely disagree with the wisdom of fear, We need to be afraid of danger and in this sense fear is a gift. Perhaps God just wants us to love one another and in so doing to love Him. Or perhaps God does want us to be afraid, not so much of Him, but of the consequences of having to live in a world devoid of love. So yes there are consequences, but we create them by failing to honour the God of love and His guidance. @@williambrooks6629

As a (now very elderly) convert to the True Faith, I offer these heartfelt thoughts: Please do not overlook, or forget, that the Holy love Christ witnesses to, and speaks of, is: heroic, sacrificial & meritorious.... Holy Love does not require that we approve of, or like, painful attitudes/behaviors that we witness of anyone (including ourselves)! We are not required to feel comfortable in the presence of spiritual (or any other kind of) criminals - or even feel satisfaction in praying or making sacrifices. Christ Jesus was, and is, on a rescue mission for condemned souls. He came from the Magnificence of Heaven to dwell on the sewer that participation in satanic sin made of earth. Were it not for the immaculate soul and womb of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, Christ's purity and holiness could not even have tolerated a trip to this fallen prison planet ( where the very devils that were exiled from Paradise ALSO reside)!! Those of us who believe in Holy, Almighty, Eternal God - and seek to carry our portion of His Cross are making some progress out of a temporal place danger.... Blessed Jesus asks us....while on our difficult pilgrimage to Heaven, to PLEASE help Him, (who is our Elder Brother) with His own more difficult work - so that more endangered siblings ALSO can be spared eternal hell...+❤

Catechism 2181 says, "the faithful are obliged to participate in the Eucharist on days of obligation, unless excused for a serious reason (for example, illness, the care of infants) or dispensed by their own pastor." If you have sufficient pain such that attending Mass becomes too great a burden on your body, then you are excused per the above passage. However I do not know anything about your illness in particular, and so cannot say whether it is severe enough to warrant this. Please further consult with a priest.

Because although the commandments themselves are irrevocable, their particular implementation is given to the authority of the See of Peter, who is Christ's vicar on earth. He cannot forbid their exercise, but may change its implementation. Hence the Pope can do things like dissolve an unconsummated marriage by virtue of his office, but not dissolve a consummated marriage which cannot be dissolved by anyone.

Catholicism is work salvation, please turn to Christ in faith as the Bible clearly says we are saved by grace which translates to CHARIS meaning "unmeritted favor/free gift." quite literally. There is a Reason why Paul says in Romans "for the wages of sin is death, but the FREE gift of God is eternal life through christ Jesus our lord." Again grace's literal translation in the Greek is "unmeritted favor/free gift." Salvation is completely free all you have to do is believe that what Jesus did for you 2000 years ago actually worked. He died as a substitute for sin on the cross for you and me because the penalty for sin is death, if the penalty has already been paid and "by grace you have saved through faith" then all you are doing is believing that his payment was for you, a.k.a excepting it and believing you have eternal life as a result of his finished work (and of course believing he rose from the dead as a dead savior can't save you.) The reason you cannot add a work to Christ's finished work is because as Paul makes clear in Romans 11:6 "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work." You aren't under grace if you add something to the gospel because grace must be unmeritted for it to be attributed to you. Again, you are just trusting in what Christ already did for you, that's why in ephesians Paul says "after you believed, you were sealed with that holy spirit of promise, which is the GUARANTEE of our inherentance until the redemption of the purchased possession." Paul can't use the word guarantee here if salvation is partially based off of something you do, as obviously YOU can fail in your efforts meaning there is obviously no guarantee. But if it is entirely based off of what Christ did, then there is a guarantee.

Grace and salvation are the free gift of God, yet if we reject or do not cooperate with that grace during our lifetime we will suffer eternal hellfire - hence do the scriptures say "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." (Matthew 7). The position of "once saved, always saved" is not a position the early church held, but a later unscriptural Protestant innovation.

@CatechesisVids first of all, the literal Greek translation for the word grace is CHARIS, meaning "unmeritted favor." If we are saved by grace as Paul states, then it would have to be faith alone because....that's quite literally the only other option. Anything else is meritorious. "I got to heaven because I did (fill in the bank)" thats called merit my friend, a.k.a the opposite of grace. Something can't be free if you have to work for it, that doesn't even make logical sense. Secondly, if there's something more we have to do other than believe the gospel, perhaps you could explain Ephesians 1:13-14 " In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise" " Which is the GUARANTEE of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory" According to Paul, immediately after believing the gospel, we are sealed with the holy spirit who is the GUARANTEE of eternal life. And we are sealed until The lord takes us home. Such a statement is impossible if works were involved. Thirdly, the "will of the father" is found in john and it isn't a work, it's just faith "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have EVERLASTING life: and I WILL raise him up at the last day" This isn't hard man, but According to Romans 11:6 if you keep trying to save yourself you will end up in hell. You cannot mix grace and works, otherwise grace isn't grace anymore.

Of COURSE NOT!!! It's not A REAL "sin" at all. All SIN is MORTAL SIN, and only by FAITH in the SIN OFFERING of Jesus can we be cleansed of our sin. Eph 2:8,9.
