We can't go to mass asking "what's God going to do for ME today?" We should be asking "what can GOD do THROUGH ME today?" This self-offering is what mass is all about and ultimately what our entire relationship with Christ is about. In fact, any GOOD relationship, period, works on this principle. That is why, as you noted, those that are truly searching for that type of relationship with Christ ultimately "move-onto or back" to other traditional experiences of faith - experiences that have out-lived any fad of pop-culture. This is ultimately exhibited in the Catholic Faith...the expression of faith that has out-lived them all and embodies the fullness of the faith. Great post!
