Gratitude!

[ZiggysGal]

This morning for the first time in a long time I was off work and able to attend 0700 Mass.

So, first the first time since Easter Vigil, I received communion … not as someone entering the church but as a Catholic.

I was overwhelmed with tears! I contemplated whether I was sad or scared or joyful or anything else and realized I was simply and purely grateful.

It is amazing. My heart breaks for the need of sacrifice but I am grateful for it.

Just thought I’d share.

Congratulations. Now you know what it means when a Catholic says; “I hunger for the Eucharist”. God bless.

When I hear of Jesus’ suffering being
referred to as “the final sacrifice” I cringe,
because it is the final sacrifice FOR SIN.
We are to offer up sacrifices of THANKGIVING
and FOR OTHERS, making our bodies “a
LIVING and holy SACRIFICE” See Rom. 12:1

Thanks for sharing about your JOY in partaking
in the Eucharist!

O Blood and Water that gushed forth from the
heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, we
trust in you! Amen.
