Can't help but think of this is the case in the world right now:

[15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot. [16] But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knows not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see. [19] Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore and do penance. [20] Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

[21] To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome and am set down with my Father in his throne. [22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

Spot on. If people haven't noticed yet, they soon will, the fact that God is stripping everything away from us that we have relied upon. All of our false idols are fallen. Government institutions and agencies have been shown to something we can't rely on, our Church hierarchy have shown they cannot be relied on, soon our economic system (money) will be stripped away from us...then the Warning comes, then we all have a choice to make. Who will we rely on...ourselves, our fallen idols, or God?

I went at noon and I was surprised at the amount of people that attended.
It wasn't packed but a decent showing considering the state of affairs in the USA.

I was surprised there were not Masses past 8. People are struggling to survive and put food on the table and many students have classes during the day. The Low Mass use to be designed for the worker so you could go on break being about 15 mins no homily. 30 to 45 minutes for a Mass can be tough to swing during the work week.

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is a national holiday in Portugal.

I realize some of you are in places where Mass attendance is being restricted, but for those of you who aren't... Were your Masses unusually full on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception?

I'm at an FSSP parish and they were saying yesterday that they've never seen such a large number of people on a holy day of obligation (non-Sunday) before, ever. We filled every available space in the church amd both halls/buildings. Then my sister told me today that her Novus Ordo parish was also very full on Immaculate Conception, to the point that her priest commented about it during the homily, saying there were at least 2,000 people there!

So I'm curious, did this happen around the world? Did Mary get more people to Mass than usual and is it some kind of sign?

It funny because I thought it was larger than it typically is on a holy day, but never gave it another thought…
Perhaps folks see how bad the world is and are taking their faith a bit more seriously! I pray…
