Because the focus of the Mass is the Holy Eucharist, the memorial that Christ commanded His believers to observe in His memory. "Do this in remembrance of Me." It is a privilege, honor, and requirement for Christians to celebrate the Holy Eucharist.

Highest form of prayer? Possibly.
Forgiveness of sins? No, that's a-whole-nother sacrament.
Giving thanks? Possibly.
To renew faith? Yep.
Catholics are rooted in tradition. Mass is just how they stay together and keep going. Just think, why does any club have group meetings? To pump each other up =)

Dude, use a seek engine to discover your solutions! I simply googled "Catholic Mass" and this got here up "The Catholic Church sees the Mass as probably the most best means it has to present latria (adoration) to God. The Church believes that "The different sacraments, and certainly all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are certain up with the Eucharist and are orientated towards it."[four] It could also be Catholic notion that during goal fact, no longer simply symbolically, the wheaten bread and grape wine are modified into Christ's frame and blood, a conversion known as transubstantiation, in order that the complete Christ, frame and blood, soul and divinity, is real, particularly, and notably contained within the sacrament of the Eucharist.[five]" the web is your buddy! gain knowledge of learn how to use it!

Because it is in the ten commandments, it's a mortal sin, but most importantly of all is the Holy Eucharist which we believe to be transformed into the flesh and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. By going to mass, we also help ask for those that are in purgatory so that, that same day they may go free and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Mass is a time for prayer and listening. It is a time to say thank you together for God’s gifts. In a world where it seems natural to be self-preoccupied and busy, to make Sunday a free day when we spend time together in prayer offers a space for being in touch with the deep places of our lives.

If Catholics had no mass, they would only exist as energy.
