I saw this picture and thought, "What if that is how we felt about the Mass?" It isn't of course. At least not as the "Body of Christ." There are some of us that go to those lengths, but not everyone.
More about that situation: It was cold, about 19°F, snowy, wet, and windy. Many of those people were taking the day off from work to be there. The purpose and goal? Clear Snow.
Here is the full story, found at Badger Catholic:
"How excited are Green Bay residents for the postseason's return to Titletown? A line of locals wrapped around Lambeau Field early Friday morning in response to the Green Bay Packers' traditional request for assistance in shoveling snow from the bleachers.If only we could get people to go to Mass with that enthusiasm...
Qualified candidates receive $10 per hour to ensure the stadium is ready for the 70,000-plus who will descend for Sunday's divisional playoff game against the New York Giants. The Green Bay area received about four inches of snow Thursday, but the skies are expected to be clear for the weekend.
Although this is a paid exercise, many of you took pains Friday morning to set me straight on the motivations of many who turned out. Wrote @KCousineau09: "It's not about the money. … I have a friend that makes nearly 6 figures that took the day off to go shovel at Lambeau Field."
