4 Things Catholics Should Do Before Mass

As a mom of 3 kids, 3 years and younger, it's so hard to get in the right mindset before and at Mass. Trying to keep 3 little ones still and quiet is quite a task and it keeps me distracted most of the time. Preparing myself before Mass and saying a prayer and offering up my struggles with kids during Mass has helped. It makes me so much more calm and peaceful bringing them into Mass rather than dreading it. I know that eventually it will all pay off and my kiddos will growing up knowing how to prepare and listen during the Mass. For those parents out there, it's not easy by any means, taking kids to Mass but it's essential, and your children will live by example.

I go to mass happily every time I even look forward to mass. I even go early every time for time alone with the Lord and I have days that can feel his presence and my prayers I cry while praying and days where I just enjoy the stillness, I pray for intercession from Mother Mary and again I can have times where I am crying in their presence and then there is time when I just enjoy the stillness in adoration. I really wish that I could just spend all day everyday just praying and worshiping the Lord, I now see church as my happy place

Listening to Gregorian Chants, particularly to Veni Creator Spiritus, helps me a lot to recollect before mental prayer, before mass, before praying The Rosary. I love to call the Holy Spirit ✨❤️‍🔥✨

I use to get to mass at least 15min. early to adore the Hidden Jesus. The constant intense talking is so great among all the people that I now pray in my car and come in five minutes before mass.💔

Jesus help me. I’m trying to balance everything on my own, but Lord I feel like I’m failing miserably as a single mother. Both sons are special needs I’m so overwhelmed trying to support them on my own. I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus guide me and give me strength. I have faith you will carry me through this difficult time.❤️💕🙏🏾❤

Excellent video! I would add leaving the gum at home. People chewing gum during Mass is one of my pet peeves.

I love Gregorian chant! So beautiful and peaceful
