Little did I know that the first time I decided to study deeper about my catholic faith, watching videos, reading spiritual books, less encounter with other people, I became way too Proud of myself. At the time I didn't go to the daily Mass, just the Sunday Mass.
I forgot to pay attention to other communities outside our community. Until I realize that other people will indeed make us Humble not because of their charity or kindness etc, but because of their weaknesses: Envy, Hatred, Complicated tendencies etc, Anger, disbelief etc.
Now when I try to attend Daily Mass (not everyday) I don't see other people as I previously see them - sinners (troublemakers) etc. (I am also a sinner, But I could complain easily before)
Now the more I attend Mass the more I see them as Sinners who will be repented soon. The more I refuse to complain or whenever I complain I immediately realize that I don't guard my heart and mind well.
We do need to live with the people around us, pay more attention to them and try to be charitable and caring. Sounds easy but I am telling you, it could be so challenging.
I am writing this to invite all of you here to at least attend Daily Mass One time and see the difference in yourself.
Or tell us here what's the difference you see now in you?

@misericordiaJun 23Holy Mass really is the source of so many graces! Going to daily Mass right now myself too.
@lucaJun 23Thanks for sharing your story!
There a lot of things I really feel inside while I was reading.
As you said,” we do need to live with the people around us, pay more attention to them and try to be charitable and caring. Sounds easy but I am telling you, it could be challenging”.
That’s the actual struggle in my workplace.
How can I be a Christian if I’m behaving like everyone else in this place?
So I start praying for my colleagues and avoid gossiping.

@stephaniegift2020Jun 26Attending daily mass is a source of strength. I pray for the grace not to miss it
