Do you still go to church as a Christian?

Yes.

No, sadly

This is very forward of me, but I think I remember that you mentioned in another thread that you are a Roman Catholic. If for whatever reason you can’t get to church and wish you could, there are some very comforting devotional quotes about the prayer (no set words are needed) called “An Act of Spiritual Communion”, e.g.

“Spiritual Communion is a treasure which enriches the soul with inestimable wealth, and is capable of producing the very same graces as sacramental, and in some instances greater.”

St Leonard of Port-Maurice

I have no right to assume a) you don’t already know this or b) that you don’t have the very best of reasons to withdraw from the practice of faith, but you were kind to me on another thread and I thought I would share the devotion, which has been a great help to me in the past, in case it is of any use at all.

Please forgive me if I am rude or presumptuous.

Thanks so much for this! I am aware of this practice but had forgotten about it in recent years - so I appreciate the reminder

You are most welcome— what does PRSOM mean? I know INRI (Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum) and CSSML NDSMD (Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux Ne Draco Sit Mihi Dux — the St Benedict Medal) but I don’t know what Roman Catholic prayer that stands for. Please forgive me.

It's a TSR acronym (not a religious one, that means "Please Rate Some Other Member"! Basically means the site won't (currently) allow me to rep your kind post

Hi everyone, hope that you are all doing well. I did reply to this thread earlier. I did read the below articles with interest recently that 18-24 year olds are having a revival resugence in church attendance and I did find that really interesting and it made me think of this thread. The trend is changing who is attending church now. These are very interesting and observable times. Some young people are obviously wanting something different in their lives and are turning to a faith.
I will paste the links below.

Been a while that I went to a church as non-Christian.
If you seem so unhappy with it, I wonder why you don't change it.

It's unfortunately rather out of my hands to change it. I can't/don't go to church on health-related grounds. Religious buildings trigger violent psychosis most of the time (approximately 80% of the time), so it's too dangerous for me to try and go. I just about manage a Christmas Mass most years, due to family obligations, but even that proves rather risky

I am sorry to read that you experience this. I can say that in 2014 I became unwell and had to take a break from going to church. I had a wonderful life saving experience that in the end got a bit overwhelming as it was not unexpected and not supposed to be seen in this world. Anyway, to recover I stopped going to church for a few months. I felt safer for a while in a church that was pretty bare. You can get church's that are held in not much more than an ordinary room and makeshift chairs and it doesn't look like a religious building. In time I worked my way back to my normal church and today I am fine. It you pray and you would like it to change, keep it in your prayers. Anyway, this was just to let you know in case you didn't, that there are many services today that do not take place in religious church buildings.
The church I attend today is in a small chapel and it is quite bare and I find it quite beautiful.
