What to wear for mass?

One of the lessons God taught me through serving Him through mass is the importance of dressing appropriately for mass.

Our generation is one that focus on what we feel rather than outward appeareances. So when we tell a youngster not to wear slippers or shorts to church, we'll probably hear an answer that goes like, "Ah, what does it matter what I wear. What matters is my sincerity of heart when I come for mass. Nothing else matters!"

Again, this brings us back to the dictatorship of relativism which defines nothing as definitive.

Dressing up for mass is a sign of reverence before the sacrament that we receive during mass. Just like how the church sacraments are outward sign of inward faith, so is our attire when attending mass.

Lord, you sons of God,
Give to the Lord glory and praise,
Give to the Lord the glory due to His name;
Adore the Lord in holy attire.
Psalm 29:1-2
