Who goes to Church everyday here? My grandmother along with her daughter[my aunt] never misses Church- she goes every single day at 5 am... I really admire her for that- such devotion to God. I only go to church on Sundays and when I have classes I pass by [our school is beside the church]...

I only go on Sundays regularly. But even if I do not go everyday its the relationship with God that matters the most for me. We can all have our quiet talks with Him in the mornings. And most of the time I do talk to Him, anywhere and everywhere so for me going to church every single day is really nothing compared to the time you spend with Him.

I finally went to church on Easter after a long absence of attendance. I generally do not attend Easter service because of the crowd but I saw this as an opportunity to visit a new church since my recent move to a new state this year. I had a wonderful time in fellowship and worship and the members were welcoming and friendly.

I have never tried and I never promised God that I would because I just know that I can't.I am such a lousy Catholic, and I admit that. I go to Church on Sundays but not all the time. Not for any major reason but it's my laziness. It's in the Bible that we should not be lazy but I can never wake up at 5 am even if I activated one hundred alarm clocks.
I really wish I could have a very active spiritual life. I am trying but just not too much effort exerted on it though.

lol. Are church services even on everyday? I don't have the luxury of doing it that much but I enjoy the time I do get to be there. I go there only on Sundays. when I was a kid it use to be sunday morning and then every wednesday after school.

Not everyday, but usually twice a week when there are services and activities going on. Sometimes more than that, but I prefer to be at church when there are people there. My church is important to me because of the people there. It's my part of the body of Christ. You can talk to God or be devotional to him anywhere. You don't really need to be in a church for him to hear you. Your church doesn't even have to be a building, it can just be a group of believers.

I do not find it necessary to go to church everyday. I take a few minutes each day to reflect spiritually and then proceed on. I live my life and go good for others as I feel that God would want me to do.
I commend your grandmother and aunt for making the committment to go to church everyday. That is a devotion that they have made and I hope that it brings them closer to God.

I only go to church on Sundays too. But when I am in the church I pay close attention to the mass and concentrate on what the priest is saying- then I take Holy Communion too along with my family.

No I don't. Actually I think people go to church because that makes them feel good. So going to church every day or living there doesn't mean that you are so devoted to god. Of course these things are very personal and sure there are people that are really devoted. But I think that happens very rare.

I really envy people who devote their time and really make effort for their devotion, how I wish I could do the same. On weekdays I just try to visit the chapel since I will be passing by the church's area on my way to work. I hope that I could attend mass every Sunday..their are time that I wasn't able to.

Hi lady 1993, No. I don't go to church everyday but what we do as a family is to hear mass every Saturday night (anticipated mass) or Sunday.
If I got a chance i also do the novena in Quiapo church for nine consecutive Fridays, or sometimes in Divine Mercy Shrine every first Friday of the month. I definitely salute those people who never misses going to church everyday because not all people have the same devotion as they have.
