These are the writings of the average college age Catholic trying desperately to show the world the truth. I'm 18 years old, i haven't lived most of my life, and yet, i have an understanding of it that most adults will never have. I watch the world around me and write about it here.

Daily Mass
Daily mass is something that i definately wish i could attend more often. i honestly feel like i need God that often. i miss him when i don't see him. people think i'm crazy for feeling that strongly toward him, but the truth is, i love him, and when you love someone you want to spend every moment of every day with them. that's how i feel about God. when i'm not at mass or praying, i feel like i'm alone, even though i know he's there. so i try to pray as often as i can. there are people who are blessed with the feeling of his presence constantly and i envy those people. for me, faith is something i need to work at, i'm not lucky like others. but that's okay with me. he trudged up the mount for me, i can trudge through life for him. but for those of you who aren't starving, overworked college kids, you should take advantage of that. of daily mass. for those of us who simply don't have the time, and for those out there who don't have the longing. i simply can't understand how anyone makes it through life without God. and the cold hard fact is, most people don't. they die of drug overdoses, drunk driving accidents, things like that, because they're running away from the truth for convenience, so they don't feel bad, but the truth is, they end up feeling back anyway. that's why there is suicide, that's why there is abortion, that's why there is rape, that's why there are drugs and alcohol. these things come to fruition from ignorance of God's Love and gifts. this is my understanding of it.
