We do not simply come to Mass to get something out of it, we come to give worship and thanksgiving to God.

“In the sacrifice of Christ, who gives himself to us, body and soul, there is room for our whole life. We can unite everything – our work and our sufferings, our joys – with Christ’s sufferings.” – from the YouCat (Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church)  #217
