The teachings of all the saints who have addressed this topic, while not officially a doctrinal teaching of the Church, should be considered with a level of certainty, and what the saints have said unanimously is that preparation in prayer before Mass is vitally important to the experience at Mass, as is praying in Thanksgiving after Mass. The language of the Church states quidquid recipitur recipitur secundum modum recipientis - whatever is received is received according to the mode of the recipient. In other words, the Mass is able to help us to the degree that we have a proper disposition to receive grace. Many who complain of experiencing nothing at Mass would change their experiences completely by putting an effort into prayerfully placing themselves in a proper state of mind and heart before Mass.
