Building a Sunday Mass habit
Protect the Lord’s Day as the anchor of the week.
Sunday obligation is not legalism but rhythm—rest in God and gathering with the Body. Habits form around cues, consistency, and community.
Choose a Mass time
A default time reduces decision fatigue. If travel disrupts, decide the night before which parish and time.
Prepare Saturday
Clothes, offering, and a short Scripture or Missal read lower Sunday morning friction. Sleep and breakfast matter too.
When you miss
Confess grave omission if applicable; make the next Sunday non-negotiable. Hospitality to others strengthens your own commitment.
