Today is a holy day of obligation.  On Catholic radio I heard it referred to as a holy day of opportunity!

Today we have the opportunity to go to mass.  If you're uncertain of mass times... you can always go to www.masstimes.org

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -- trees, flowers, grass -- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.

~Mother Theresa
