On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass; they are also to abstain from those labors and business concerns which impede the worship to be rendered to God, the joy which is proper to the Lord's Day, or the proper relaxation of mind and body. Canon 1248.
Lately, the question was asked, âDo Native Americans believe in God?â As someone who has studied Native American culture, lived in communities with Native Americans and have a little Indian ancestry myself, I can assure you that yes, it is common for Native Americans to believe in God. Not only do Americaâs churches have Native Americans in their congregations, but most of Americaâs Indian tribes throughout history have had strong âspiritualâ components. However, Native Americans didnât (and often still donât) believe in God the same way as Europeans who colonized the New World.
Because Native Americans believe that the health of an individual is inextricably linked to the people and objects surrounding that person, their healing practices promote harmony among everyone in a community--and with the physical environment and the spiritual world as well.evertheless, many people--Native and non-Native Americans alike--suggest that these methods really do work for a range of physical and emotional ailments, including heart disease, , thyroid conditions, cancer, skin rashes, asthma, alcoholism, and depression. Again, these accounts cannot be scientifically proved.
