Medicine

For four glorious days last week, we had multiple services per day, and long services. What was offered averaged out to about 4 hours of prayer offices and/or Mass and/or Bible class per day.

This week school is on vacation; that means no prayer offices. Midweek Mass is canceled, as is midweek Bible class. No church from last Sunday until next Sunday.

I am quite aware today of how very much the services of God's house and the preaching of His word and the celebration of His Supper have become a medicine against depression.

    When I feel it most is during five-Sunday months, when we end up with two non-Communion Sundays in a row, and I've told my pastor this. He agrees it needs to be changed, and soon. Sometimes I luck out, and can be visiting friends during a 5th Sunday - such was the case in March.
