Try to be early to Mass always. A few minutes spent in before Mass can open your soul to wonderful graces.
When you enter or leave the church, take Holy Water and sign yourself with the Sign of the Cross.
Always genuflect when you enter or leave your seat. This is an act of adoration to almighty God, present in the Tabernacle. Take time to genuflect reverently, facing the altar and saying “My Lord and My God” as your right knee touches the floor.
Don’t talk in church unless absolutely necessary. Talk only to Jesus - it is Him you have come to visit. Don’t talk as you leave, either. Some people may still be praying.
Listen to the sermon. It is a message from God which could bear much fruit for you.
Don’t start to leave church until the priest has returned to the Sacristy. Stay to thank God for the graces you received from Him in the Mass. Source: Complied by Fr. Augustine Opara Ikechukwu
