1 Corinthians 14:23-25 Our Worship Service 27 July 2024
1Co 14:23 Suppose that,
if the whole congregation were meeting
and all of them speaking in tongues,
and some uninitiated people or unbelievers were to come in,
don't you think they would say that you were all raving?
24 But if you were all prophesying when an unbeliever or someone uninitiated came in,
he would find himself put to the test by all and judged by all
25 and the secrets of his heart revealed;
and so he would fall down on his face and worship God,
declaring that God is indeed among you.

By times I am wondering what the uninitiated person would think about our Catholic mass. Is our situation so different from what is described in those verses?
Judged By All
Would a stranger entering our church feel judged by all Catholics found in the mass?
Prayer
Jesus, help all strangers to feel welcome in the Catholic Churches.
