When You Next Receive Holy Communion...

Have you become a little too causal when you approach the King of Kings?

Maybe this little prayer will help reignite the sense of awe, amazement and gratitude that such a great and undeserved privilege deserves.

Eucharistic Reflection - Transform Us Lord

Image
(Photo©Michael Seagriff) "...You are the body of Christ; you are members of Jesus Christ; you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. What a marvel! We are here in a church built of stone, before a tabernacle made of marble, and we approach this place with awe. We observe silence. We tiptoe our way ahead to the altar, we open ourselves to the radiance of this silence which is made different by the Sacred presence of the Host...He is there for us, to consecrate us, to transform us into a living host, so that we may truly be the sanctuary of the divinity."

We get back what we give. If we sow hate, we reap hate; if we scatter love and gentleness, we harvest love and happiness. Other people are like a mirror which reflects back on us the kind of image we cast. The kind person bears with the infirmities of others, never magnifies trifles , and avoids a spirit of fault-finding." (From  Way to Happiness )   Paul Washer "Your children will go to public school and they will be trained for somewhere around 15,000 hours in ungodly secular thought. And then they'll go to S...
