Ask Fr. Barron: Single most important thing to build up the life of the Church?

Matthew Warner Blogs

Awhile ago I asked some well-known Catholics (including you all) what they'd like to ask Fr. Barron. Well Fr. Barron answered. So I'll be doing a little series here for awhile called "Ask Father Barron" where we'll get to experience these questions and answers. Will be fun!

Today's question comes from Fr. Reed at CatholicTV.com. He asks Fr. Barron what he thinks the single most important thing is that we can do to build up the life of the Church - particularly in the parish. It's such a great question. Fr. Barron has an equally great and simple answer.

People Explain ‘Why I Go to Mass’

‘Why go to Mass on Sundays? It is not enough to answer that it is a precept of the Church. … We Christians need to participate in Sunday Mass because only with the grace of Jesus, with his living presence in us and among us, can we put into practice his commandment, and thus be his credible witnesses.’ —Pope Francis
