I decided to try something new (for me) on Tuesday -- going to morning Mass before work. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (where I go to Church) has a morning Mass at 6:30. This, I thought on Monday night, would work out perfectly as I am usually an early bird at work and get there around 7:30 ish or even earlier (even though I really don't need to). Guess what? I was right. I got there at 6:30 and got recruited into doing the reading and Psalm, and the entire Mass was done in about 35 minutes. I got in my car, and was still at work before 8 and most other people.
The best part of this? I felt spiritually refreshed and ready for the day. I felt happy, great, and fulfilled before the day started. It is amazing what an impact celebrating the Eucharist to start the day had on me. It was so nice that I went back Wednesday morning and Thursday morning as well. I didn't get to go Friday as I was out of town for work. I think my general rule is going to be that as long as I don't have anything at work before 9 o'clock, then I'm going to try my best to get up and make Mass whenever possible.
Mass makes me a better person. It helps me further my relationship with Jesus Christ through the Eucharist. It helps me become the best version of myself.
