The lazy days of summer can make it tempting to be lazy on Sunday and stay home from Mass, but here are four reasons to fit Mass attendance into our summer schedules :
1. After Jesus' resurrection, his followers came together to keep his message alive and became the early Church. Every time we attend Mass, we help to keep Jesus' message alive --- but that can only happen in church.
2. At Sunday Mass, millions of people we don't know are praying for us and with us. Where else can we get that kind of help?
3. Attending Mass connects us to the Communion of Saints --- the saints in heaven, the souls in purgatory and believers on Earth. That's powerful company.
4. Mass is the way a Catholic fulfills the 3rd Commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day --- instructions straight from God. If God says to do something, we should do it.
