The Mass is such a
treasure! While attending the one today, I was struck by the phrase the priest
used to greet the people, “My dearly beloved…” I know most priests at the start
of the any mass are saying it, but today it was different, I felt like I found
a treasure that for a long time was just there but I failed to recognize. When
I heard the priest saying “My dearly beloved…” I felt like I was called into a
loving embrace, such an endearing words!
Mass is such a beautiful
thing because it calls us into an experience of love and relationship. If I may
rephrase it, it’s like saying, “My love, my sweetie pie, my one and only, or
Palangga (my love)” The Lord at the start of the mass is calling us as His one
and only love and inviting us to an experience of love with Him, to be in a
relationship with Him.
Thank you Lord for the
gift of mass, an experience of love and relationship. Amen.
