Yes, i went on a mass,during the week. It lasted only 30minutes and considering there was no heating in church, perfect timing. I went last time in summer but apparently there was no mass on Monday, closed doors awaited me then but, luckily, yesterday was Wednesday. I didn't go to church since covid and before that,also rarely. I thought only happy people go there and i wasn't. Still not but i needed some peace and found it last evening. It was nice, i felt both nervous and content. Evening was cold so i walked faster down the hill. Bus took off so in both directions, i walked, which benefited me. After the mass was over, i stayed sitted for a few minutes,like i was saying unsaid prayer,with no words. If it was received, i would appreciate it and wish good wishes for you too,mylotters.

I have not felt easy in a church since covid either. I rarely go in person as a result. I cannot forget going when they had the tape on the pews marking off the 2M distance we were to keep to remain safe.

The church is usually a place where many find peace.

@nela13 i remember for sundays from older days and i think i'll try to go during the week cause it's less people. this week i won't but next one, i think i will. it's not mandatory, it's how we feel, right?

Many find comfort in church whatever their state of mind.

That's so nice to know. I mostly attended the online services and the bible group study online since I am so far away.

i remember side doors were always opened in my little town, maybe you should try to check them out

in my experience, religion has helped me a lot to gain a new perspective about life and our purpose here. i hope it helps you too, if you decide to use it as some sort of coping
