salt air and the rust on your door

being a teenage girl between 2010 and 2015 must have been the shit. lana del rey dropped born to tie and ultraviolence. the arctic monkeys dropped am. justin bieber. one direction. u had tumblr and weheartit. u post a black and white pic of a cigarette and u get like 20k notes. pretty little liars, vampire diaries and glee were all on tv. twilight was still really popular. all around it must have been fun

I know a lot of times we can complain about priests or the Mass if it's not the way we want it to be, but I think it's really important that we all acknowledge how privileged and lucky we are to be able to go to Mass at all. There are people being killed right now for being Catholic. Many of us get to go to Mass (daily Mass in many cases!) in relative peace without much concern of our safety. It's okay to prefer one form of Mass to the other, or to have qualms with the way a priest does something during the Mass, but I think we all need to take a step back sometimes and see how lucky we really are.
