holy day of obligation


I woke up wanting to go to Mass
until I noticed that the church websites were insisting that today is a holy day of obligation
When the church gets all paternal like that, I become a rebellious adolescent.
QUIT TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.
In the next moment, I remember that today,
like every day, is a most holy day of obligation.
I'll go to mass tomorrow, when I am not obligated.
There are a million other ways to make this day holy.
