I Attended a Catholic Mass

I am not a Catholic, I grew up going to Catholic church and have received the necessary sacraments; but, I left the Catholic church long, long ago. A young relative of mine is considering becoming a Catholic, he asked if I would go to a mass within him and I did.

We spoke to the priest for a bit after the mass, he seemed to be a very nice and concerned person. One of the things that he said in the mass was that God had built us for joy and I disagree. I believe God built us for relationship and a relationship with him will involve joy; however, it will also involve growth and growth involves pain.

I completely forgot what else I was going to write, got involved in a religious conversation with my relative and lost my line of thinking. Be well.
