The Mass is the
Highest Form of Prayer...
Mass is Your Prayer!
Jesus said we must “pray always without becoming weary” (Luke 18:1). But how can we truly pray without ceasing? The answer lies in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass — the most perfect and continuous prayer on earth. At every moment of every day, somewhere in the world, the Mass is being offered. Humanity never ceases to pray because the Church never ceases to worship.

Spiritual formation looks like this: Doing life with Jesus.
It's not about learning a bunch of rules, even though that can be part of it. It's not about all of the rituals and things. It is about being friends with Jesus, living with him, dwelling with him in the good times and the bad. It's about always living in his love, his favor, his goodness.
And the longer we're there, the thicker our branches will get. The longer we're there, the more fruit we will bear, and it will be good fruit. The longer we're there, the more resistant we will be to weather, to cold, and to darkness. And, in the end, we will bear fruit in our season. Isn't that good news?
Let's abide in his vine. Let's ask Jesus to transform us and renew us. Let's go to him when we get thirsty. But even more than that, let's become rooted in his rich soil so that we become the fruit-bearing believers he designed us to be.
-from Pastor Bobby Schuller
