I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

I actually went to church yesterday to see my old man. I arrived late, but most everyone remembered me at peace giving, people were crossing the aisle to wish me peace. I was raised Catholic, but I grew distant to the religion in my teenage years.
I'm 26 now, and my faith hasn't been restored, but I can't bring myself to dislike being around church folk. The best ones have your best interests at heart.
Some of them even said I looked healthier than I was before.

I'm so glad my parish doesn't do that, we do the traditional mass. Glad you could make it tho anon.

Ours is traditional too. I suppose I should say, I grew up going almost every Saturday and everyone who did cross was someone I knew. I haven't been to my hometown parish in almost 7 years, since I live in a city further away.
I guess I was really moved by how the people I know from my childhood and teenage years remembered me.
Granted, it wasn't everyone. I saw new families that didn't come, but I expected that. I was pleasantly surprised that it happened.

The peace thing is something only done at parishes doing the novus ordo mass that came after vatican II

Forgive me, I took religious studies in high school, but the focus wasn't on the Catholic faith, it was regarding other religions.
Thank you for enlightening me.
Peace be with you, brother.

Sucks man. Hopefully you can get back soon. I was just at liturgy today, it always brightens my week when I'm able to make it.
