Missing the Sabbath (Catholics, Christians, sunday, service)

[Currency Pair Crocodile]

This morning I'm pissed off. And I haven't moved my bum into the shower to get ready for the Sunday service. And It's 12:34 and they had already begun the last Sunday mass for the day. They have Spanish mass at 2:30 and frankly, that language drives me bananas

This is one of the rarest of the rare Sundays in my adult life that I've missed the Sunday mass. And I'm not happy about it. Is this a big offence?

Am planning to go catch on some benediction tonight. How do catholics feel about intentionally skipping the Sabbath?

Even if you attend Mass every day of your life, on your deathbed you won't know if you're accepted by God.

Well, it always percolates down to the "you're still a douchebag even if you attend mass every day". I get that. You can find a 1000 people in the other forums here who will unanimously vote aye on that

Presumably you also know that people who do this (attend Mass) should not call themselves Christians?

(To say nothing of using language of that sort.)

Is Sunday the Sabbath Day?

If it was, a lot of people would save on central heating, lighting and computer use! Sabbatarianism will save the world!

Man, in case you're still wondering, this thread is all about my guilt trip.

I am unable to get over the fact that I intentionally skipped the Sabbath, having striven to stick to it much of my adult life.

Unlike pcamps, I call myself a christian

At least the other guy is consistent. One cannot call oneself a Christian until one knows that one is accepted by Christ- 'in Christ'.
