Coming to meeting Jesus in the Eucharist and in the community of the faithful requires us to prepare ourselves both in an internal and in an external way. We prepare ourselves spiritually before we go to Communion: go to confession frequently, pray every day, review the Scripture readings and come to Mass early to ready yourself for this encounter with the Lord. Our preparation for an encounter with Jesus in Holy Communion and in the People of God is also reflected in our clothes: they should be modest. In most circumstances, these guidelines will help us dress appropriately for Mass.
