How often should you attend
the First Holy Mass? Once or twice a week maybe. But it's best to attend every day if possible.
​They say "Put God First In Everything You Do"
every single day of your life and to do it literally is to pray right after waking up and better, attend the First Holy Mass. You have to wake up very early before sunrise and take a bath and put on your best decent clothes to attend the Holy Mass in church. If you are Catholic and living in Cebu City, Philippines, you can always go to the Basilica Minore Del Santo Niño along Osmeña Boulevard downtown area. First Mass is at 6:00 AM every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, 5:00 AM on Friday and 5:30 AM on Sunday. There's no better way to put God first than to attend the Holy Mass before eating and drinking anything. It's a sacrifice to wake up early especially when you stay awake late at night. But because you have to show God you put Him first in your life, then you have to do it gladly with a humble heart.
​Attending the Holy Mass
should be filled with respect and reverence inside the church. Wear decent clothing and never those that reveal so much of your skin. No sleeveless shirts, no shorts and slippers but pants and shoes and other formal clothing. Church is a holy place where you communicate to the Almighty, where you say your prayers with all humility. It is not a park or public place that you hang around and let time pass by. No eating and drinking inside and no talking. You can do the rosary or just kneel and pray for whatever. Include your praise and thanksgiving for everything that you have in life, for all the blessings you receive and for the gift of life. Whatever you pray, pray not just for yourself but for everybody else. Praying for oneself alone is selfish and God wouldn't listen to that type of prayer. If you have problems, pray that you will endure and find the right answers. If you want or need something, pray that you will have them in God's perfect time and not in your desired time. Along with praying is your heart full of patience because only God knows when to give you all you're praying for. And He knows if you deserve it or not. And if you don't deserve what you prayed for, then He will give you another one that's meant to be yours but you have to patiently wait in His own time. If you're a businessman and you wake up early to attend to your businesses and sleep late at night still doing business, then it's high time for you to change that for you're making money the first goal in life. God will never be pleased with that. He wants to be the first in everything in your schedule.
