Why Go to Mass?

In light of our discussion on the Eucharist this week, this article  in America Magazine by Sr. Mary Ann Walsh really brings the content home for us to our contemporary context.  In Why Go to Mass,  Walsh discusses some real challenges to people's participation in regular weekly worship.  What is really interesting to me are the comments, and the spectrum of ways people are processing her brief story.  A worthwhile question for ministry: how would you enter into conversation with this article or with any one of the comments below?
