I believe that having anger in your heart yet still going to the sacrifice of the Mass is something that needs to be addressed. From what I have seen over the years I think the wrong message has been perceived. Most have come to think that going to mass and receiving the sacraments leads to salvation. Scripture tells us the exact opposite. As you said its about the state of one’s heart. If someone argues about being late for mass and is angry on the way there, or is mad about something that happened throughout the week or in the past, that needs to be settled before we go to worship and give praise to God for his sacrifice that gives us our salvation. It seems that some can put it aside for the one hour of mass but then go right back to “life as it is”. This is a clear indication that a person needs to turn away from the earthly mindset that is so common and strive to understand how to live in the spirit. Our conscious should always be guided by the fruits of the spirit and if we see our live being guided by, Love, Gentleness, Kindness, Patience, Joy, Self-Control, Peace, we know that we are on the right path.
