Catholic Doctrine all makes sense - the Mass

Catholic Doctrine all makes sense.  It just makes sense.

Consider the Mass.  The Catholic Church teaches it is a mortal sin to miss the Mass (CCC #2180 and 2181).  Why is that?

St. Paul also explains it very well in Hebrews 10:25-31:

Hebrews 10:25-31

King James Version (KJV)

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.  26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?  30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.  31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Read it carefully, because it just makes sense.  These words bring it home to me.

 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 

God sacrificed His Son for us upon the Cross. And all that He asks is that we remember Him once a week for an hour.  But how many people would rather watch a football game or attend a party?

If a person isn't grateful enough nor love Jesus enough to go to Mass at a minimum of one hour a week, that person is making a mockery of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ upon the Cross.  How then should God respond to that person?  Read verse 31:  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

It makes perfect sense. Catholic Doctrine just makes sense.
