There may be various reasons and I’m curious to know posters ‘Top’ reason.

Thank you for sharing your reason.
 
Because I love Jesus and want to be closer to Him and receive His sanctifying grace in the Holy Eucharist.

To receive the Eucharist and because we are required to attend.
 
To worship God in spirit and in truth, as is our due, to hear his word proclaimed, as it is good for us, and to receive the body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus, so I can have the graces I need to be holy and do good in charity as Our Lord commanded us to be and to do. 🙂
 
Most weeks, it’s because I want to go and worship God, and to receive Him.
There are some weeks though, I’m sorry to say, it’s only out of obedience because I just don’t want to sin and have to go to Confession 😊… but I always feel better after I get there and Mass begins.
 
To worship and thank God for all the blessings and graces He has given me and then to receive His Body and Blood for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen my heart and soul.
 
That I may receive my “Daily Bread” in order to start my day with my Lord and Savior.

You are my kind of person. I go to Sunday Mass out of obedience. Like you, I feel better when I get there. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is amazing. I learn and love.
I thank God that I am obedient. 🙂
 
Because I am a Catholic. Because it is a Precept of the Church and because I am in the Lord’s house where He is and to witness the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
 
The authority of the Catholic Church requires her members to assist at Mass. Besides that of being a requirement, it is a privilege that I frequently take for granted. I know that if I yawn during Mass, I haven’t prepared because I don’t realize what’s really happening.

Same here.
 
I go because it is a requirement. Also, because it is best way to worship with fellow Catholics, to see The Most Holy Sacrifice, and to hear the Word of God.
 
Because it is such a good way for me to start my day. I attend daily Mass as often as I can, and always feel better for it, and I do feel I am becoming (slowly) a better person for doing so. What finer place to talk to God and The Holy Family than right under their own roof!
 
Because I love it. I face opposition to going, but whenever I get there it’s like coming up for air. Don’t mean to sound overly pious, but it truly is my lifeline in the week.
 
To receive the Body, Blood, Soul & Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ & all the Graces that flow through the greatest prayer of the Catholic Church.
 
Because I feel an impulse to worship God and to do so in the most perfect way possible and also because I find it an uplifting experience. Not because its an obligation, if that was it I’d only go once a week.
