How to Get Something Out of Mass - What Type of "Son" Block Are You Wearing?

If you are not getting anything out of the Mass, it is because you have not opened yourself up to the great gift that God wishes to give you.  In other words, something is blocking your mind, your heart, or your soul. You obviously have applied too much Son block to either your head (covering your mind), your chest (covering your heart), or to your whole body (covering your soul).

It seems that in the time of Christ there were more than a few who were wearing a heavy layer of this Son block, and it prevented them from receiving His light.  We can make the same mistake as those who walked on the same streets, in the same villages as our Lord during His earthly life. We block ourselves to His Prescense and leave our encounter with Him at Mass untouched and unchanged. (At least to our own perception - we can never encounter our Lord and not really be untouched and unchanged!)

If you truly want to get something out of the Mass, you must remove whatever Son block you are wearing, and in the process you'll open your mind, heart, and soul to receive the rays of the Lord's grace.
