In today’s high-paced society, being a good Catholic is getting harder for people to do. One of the largest hurdles in following one’s religion are the time-constraints that folks feel as it relates to their jobs and chores. That means that more Catholics are attending church less often, and frequently, stop going altogether.
For those of you who are finding it tough to attend Church on a constant basis, perhaps setting a routine where you could attend on a monthly basis, is a good method to keep you connected to your Church. But remember, attending church is only a small element of what it means to be a good Catholic, because how you live your life, according to Catholic doctrine is of foremost significance.
Many Catholics attempt to remain vigilant with their religion by buying Catholic products, like statues depicting biblical themes, whereas other Catholics find comfort in reading the Catholic Literature and the Bible, which provides them the strength to stay in the faith. Sadly, many Catholics and this goes for other Christian denominations as well, are not totally proficient of digesting what’s written in the Bible. The Church Fathers are not simply there to carry out Mass, but also there to educate you about what the words in the bible represent. They’re educated men who have dedicated much of their lives to understanding the words written in the Bible, so that they may be able to assist others learning the often complex meanings.
Thus it is important that you contemplate attending Church more often, so as to solidify much of what you have read at home. I think that you may find that, despite the hurdles blocking you from being a regular church goer, even irregular attendance is better than none.
