I dread a call from my mum on Sunday if I did not attend Mass.
I would get the full length of her tongue and some more.
It does not matter how much gist I offer. The question must come, “Did you attend mass today?”
Even if I say there was a shooting at church, it will not pacify her.
In this aspect of my life, she has not stopped probing and guiding with intent. It makes me uncomfortable in the moment but grateful in the long run for her care.
When my children read this, they will know where I got the behaviour.
We are spiritual beings. Making an effort to connect with our spirituality is an investment that never fails to return reward.
