Going to Mass (c)
By Michael Casey
I didn't think to write anything, let's where this goes
I am a catholic with a small c
But I do believe in the Universality of it
I was an altar boy and became a reader too
8 years an altar boy and 5 years as a reader maybe
a reader just reads, he does not give a sermon
Saint Patrick's Dudley Rd, opposite the Hospital
that's our home church
and I was head boy at the school behind the church
Lots of demolition and changes
There is a new hospital coming next month
Fancy name
THE GROVE should be the name
as it is in Grove lane
Behind the old Grove Cinema
that's where I used to see films as a child
But back to church
If you get your faith from the nipple
then its normal and natural
and if you always go to church
to Mass
then you know the stories from the Bible
so when you move to a different area
you have a different church and a different view on things
my other local church is down the hill from where I am now
and it is the steepest hill in the area
so first there was Lockdown
and Churches shut to save us from Covid
and with my arthritis too
going up and down a very steep hill
is no good
SO internet Mass
I can attend anyplace in UK
and judge the quality of the priests sermons
Some are still not as good as they should be
I have sent emails thanking them for Mass
and no it's not a way of avoiding putting money on the plate
I've ended up in Canada recently
they are very good there
all kinds of sermons from all kinds of priests
Can be a bit confusing though, Bishop Francis and Pope Francis
both get a mention
but I'm most impressed by Toronto

judge for yourselves
and yes, I do donate via my other affiliations
So
I do get my dose of directed prayer
However as I have TINNITUS
I never get enough straight sleep
so times I don't sleep at all
so a Rosary is great to have
to distract and help keep you sane
when Tinnitus is like a never ending Fire Alarm
In my head, ringing, and screaming
So I use my awake time, my dark nights of the soul
To email Moscow, 10 to 20 emails
To remind them to change, and what was said at Fatima
And yes Russians read me, I can tell by the figures
Its time for Ordinary Russians to grow up
Prove they have a Real Faith, not Disney Gazprom Churches
One Million DEAD and Injured for one man's Vanity
and Trillion USD wasted on Putin's Vanity
So say a prayer for the dying, and pray Mary comes
to the rescue soon
and this I pray constantly with my Rosary
Doesn't make me holy, I'm sure dying Russians and Ukrainians
Pray the Exact same Thing
Please God, enough Putin's war, Mary I beg you
