Tobin Perry: Although they didn't have property of their own or professional clergy, early Christians met regularly. They were a minority in their communities. They were trying to live out a faith that was in its formative phases and didn't even have a finalized canon or a New Testament to study. The early church needed one another.And so do we.
By gathering with other believers, we not only follow the biblical call to be part of the body of Christ, but we also open ourselves to the blessings and growth that come from living life in community with other believers.

Thomas Reese: After centuries of neglect, Catholics are being encouraged to read the Scriptures, something Protestants still do at greater rates than Catholics. Catholicism today has some of the best Scripture scholarship in the world, but sadly little of that gets down to the parish level.

Becky Roach: When Catholics say they are "going to Adoration," they are typically referring to Eucharistic Adoration. Which, in the most basic terms, is the worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass. The Eucharistic Host is displayed in a monstrance on the altar so that all can see and pray in the presence of Christ.
Loida Mañalac Nicolas~Lewis: I am so glad I am Catholic, I am Christian, I am Filipina because I never lost faith in God.
