At every moment, somewhere in the world, people go to God’s house.

They go to pray together.

They go to hear God’s Word.

They go to receive Jesus in the Eucharist.

Catholics all over the world go to Mass.

And so do I!

I go to God’s house, the church, where God’s family gathers for Mass.

I dip my fingers into the holy water font.

To bless myself, I make the Sign of the Cross.
