"Aside from weekend Masses, I've made it a point to take my four kids to daily Mass as often as possible. It's not always easy but I'm convinced that it’s worth the effort.
"During the school year, I typically attend daily Mass with my 4-year-old. Since becoming a stay-at-home mom a few years ago, I've taken advantage of the opportunity to receive the Eucharist regularly. Don't get me wrong - going to Mass with a toddler looks different every day. For the most part, she cooperates, but there are times when I leave Mass exasperated after chasing her down the aisle.
"At first, I wondered what graces she and I were receiving at Mass every day, but I felt the Holy Spirit encouraging me to keep going, even on difficult days. Over time, I've come to see how much grace we've received just by being there."
In a recent commentary, writer reflected on some of the graces received from devout Mass attendance.
