During the Holy Thursday service this year I had a sudden feeling of unworthiness, but it was accompanied by a feeling of immense love. I had my head down in prayer, and upon looking up I realized I was now in the presence of the consecrated host. The feeling was so intense I almost broke into tears. It was perhaps the most humbling and yet wonderful feeling I’ve ever experienced. I have not been able to share this with anyone yet, and although this is my first post to Catholic Answers, I have been reading questions and answers on the forums for years.

Welcome to CAF with your first posting. Happy Easter! Thank you for sharing your experience. God has shined light upon you and given you consolation.

I had a similar moving experience lately. We were sitting on the front row for Easter morning Mass. I usually bury my head and pray the entire time after receiving the Eucharist. This Sunday the communion line was extra long. I later lifted up my head and noticed the Eucharistic minister was standing right in front of me giving out Communion. When I look at the Host again and again right before my eyes, I could not help become teary. My Lord, the real body, blood, soul, and divinity was right there, so close… It was a very moving moment. I fully understand what you said.
 
Thanks for the reply! The feeling I had truly reaffirmed that we are truly in the presence of Christ. I have understood by the teachings why we believe certain things, but to have such an experience has brought me so much closer to my faith than pure rationality ever could.
