Worshiping God at Mass every Sunday is HUGELY beneficial. In fact, it is SO important, the Catholic Church makes it OBLIGATORY. Why? First, of course, to worship is part of our human nature, part of the law “written on our hearts” (cf. Jer 31:33). Everyone who sincerely seeks to know Who God is, and has been granted even a hint about the power, the grandeur, and the LOVE of the One Who Created us and then, astonishingly, sent His Only Son to save us (cf. John 3:16), responds by naturally WANTING TO WORSHIP God. Not only do we want to PRAISE and tell Him how wonderful He is, not only do we want to express our GRATITUDE, but we also find within ourselves the desire to offer our very selves in SERVICE to Him Who is the Source of all that is Good.

But we’re human. WE FORGET. We need not only to be reminded of all that God does for us, but we need to see others also rejoicing in His greatness. Not only that, but our souls NEED TO BE FED and strengthened for the week ahead. For that, we need the perhaps invisible, yet still very real, grace that He offers us in the Eucharist.

Our brothers and sisters who have walked away from this, for whatever reason, are missing out. Like those lukewarm ones in the Book of Revelation didn’t know, so inactive Catholics today don’t know that they, too, “are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked” (3:17). Yet, Christ invites them back (cf. 3:20) — some, through SPSE. Join us?
