Parish of the Holy Eucharist Holy Martyrs Sacred Heart St Gregory St Jude July 23, 2017 Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

10 Ways to Get More out of Mass

1. Get the lay of the liturgical land. In other words, get to know your Catholic family home that is your parish. Stop by between Monday and Saturday when Mass is not going on. Bring your kids or grandkids along for the tour. Slowly and prayerfully engage in every element. Contemplate the crucifix, the stained glass and statue. Pause at the baptismal font to thank God for the gift of your own baptism. Kneel in humble appreciation for the Lord’s perpetual presence in the tabernacle. 2. Be sure to read ahead. Read all four readings—yes, all four readings (don’t forget the psalm response) ahead of time. Beginning on Monday, start reading the upcoming Sunday Mass readings. 3. Pack your bags. Many say they don’t get anything out of Mass, but maybe it’s because they fail to first bring anything to it. Mass is a time to bring your issues, stresses, anxieties, fears, concerns, and personal baggage. 4. Get wet. Don’t just reactively reach for the holy water upon entering and exiting. Make the gesture intentional. Thank God for the gift of your baptism, by which you have the privilege of being called God’s son or daughter. 5. Sit up. As in, “sit up closer.” The old adage that good Catholics sit in the back might make for a well-timed punch line from Father, but ask yourself why people want front-row seats at concerts and games and the back row at Mass. 6. Strike a chord with God. While they may open the hymnal, too many Catholics take the word “refrain” far too literally. Remember that you’re not just singing; you’re lifting your voice, mind, and heart to your heavenly Father. Music doesn’t just incline the ear to God; it directs the soul back to him. 7. Go through with your heart transplant. Are you really putting your heart upon that altar with the gifts of bread and the wine? Are you Christ falling on your knees in the Garden of Gethsemane, heralding that the Father’s will be done, or are you one of the disciples who fell asleep? 8. Say it like you mean it. Extend a hand or a kiss of peace as though it’s your last chance to right a wrong. Offer genuine forgiveness to family members and friends who have wronged you, and seek humbly the forgiveness of others. This is a great warm-up for heaven. 9. Relish the silence. You know when those silent moments are coming. Relish them. Silence, properly understood, is not our gift to the Father but his gift to us. It’s in these intimate moments that we, like the beloved disciple at the Last Supper, draw near to our Lord and rest our heads upon his breast. 10. Go forth with purpose. Do you leave Mass with a mission? There are people who desperately need what you have! Before you exit that pew, and before your genuflection is complete have a goal, a purpose, and a plan. Who are you going to invite next week? Who are you going to reach out to at work or school? What do you need to work on personally, and how do you plan to unleash the powder keg of grace within your soul in the coming hours and days?

12. If the Pope himself would give you a special invitation to visit him in the Vatican, this honor would be nothing in comparison to the honor and dignity that Jesus himself bestows upon you with the invitation of spending one hour with him in the Blessed Sacrament. "The divine Eucharist bestows upon the Christian people the incomparable dignity." (Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei) From “Twelve Reasons ...for Wanting To Spend One Hour With Jesus In The Blessed Sacrament”
