Ah the holidays. The sights and sounds, and the smells of Christmas bring us back, back to the time before we stopped, for whatever reason, actively practicing our faith. But, it’s not too late. Coming back, joining our faith family at the Eucharist is not a complicated process and can take as long as it takes.
What does it mean takes as long as it takes? The reasons that people stop actively participating are many. Some may have simply gotten out of the habit of attending Mass and stopped developing their spiritual strength. Celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation may be all that is required to “come back.”
For others, Coming Back may require a period of questioning, of searching. It requires time. “Catholics Coming Home” welcomes the searchers. The Catholics Coming Home team in the Fargo area is available to listen and dialogue about the changes. They also have a Lenten process of 6 gatherings in which the searcher comes to discuss topics of concern without pressure .
Whatever the process, it’s not as difficult as it seems. Take the first step. The rest will fall into place.
Very well done! Thanks, it inspires me!
Linda, we are glad you had a positive experience with the video. While Nativity did the production work on the video, it was a collaboration of all of the Fargo Catholic Churches.
