This is so moving! Would that, before beginning a prepared homily at each holy Mass, the priest would tell the congregation "Thank you for showing up today whether you are here out of deep devotion and love, whether you are feeling pressed or distracted, God is very glad you are here. And if you don't feel anything during mass doesn't matter because He has something wonderful planned for you which involves your being here today and He's delighted you are here even if you're "just showing up". ...then go on with the rest of the homily.
