The day was chosen as Sunday, because this was the day of the Sabbath, and this was the day of resurrection when the Son of Man returned to Earth in His glory. Previously, people looked at the Sunday Mass times as a time for mourning the sacrifice of Christ. On this holy day, the Church asks all believers to make an act of faith and attend church Mass service, and also to abstain from all unholy activities. The third commandment of the Father directs every Christian to keep the day of the Sabbath holy. The Mass service is conducted as a holy banquet in commemoration of the Last Supper and brings all faithful believers of the Lord together in congregation. While the Church does not make it mandatory for all Christians to join the Sunday communion, it is suggested that they make their regular sacramental confession. The Sunday Mass and the Saturday Vigil Mass usually involve congregational singing, often led by musicians.
