Family Meal Time

 The cost of living nowadays demands that both parents need to work.  The problem with this is the demise of the family meal time.  Families need to gather together to share conversation, ideas, concerns, values, and experiences.  Today, it is rare that this type of meal time is a daily occurrence.

The same is true of attending Mass.  The Eucharist is the divine meal.  Do you think there's a correlation?  People working, activities for children, and activities for adults, all have to fit around Mass.  Sometimes, Mass gets pushed aside.  Once you get out of the routine of going to Mass, you forget about it.
