![]() Have you ever noticed the serious expressions of people when they come back from the altar after the Eucharist? What a pity. The Jesus I came to know was not like that. He always enjoyed a good meal and fellowship with his friends. This makes me wonder about the reasons why people go to mass. Do they go for the food? That would explain, at least to some extent, the sombre expressions since a sliver of wafer and a sip of wine will not satisfy their hunger if it is physical. Another reason for going to mass may be fellowship with like-minded people, and the disappointment due to the formality of the occasion could be hard to stomach – literally and metaphorically. All speculations aside about the reasons individual people go to the Mass; there is another much more appealing motive.
