REFLECTIONS

Spend a moment thinking back to your First Holy Communion. What do you remember of that time, of that day? Maybe you remember how you felt, or something from the celebration. Maybe it was so long ago that you don’t remember much of it at all! I don’t remember a lot of my First Communion Day, but I do remember knowing that what was happening was something awesome-full of awe.

The Mystery of Eucharist is incredibly profound, but perhaps, rather than understanding every facet, we are called to approach Communion with a sense of wonder and awe at the total self-gift of Jesus, and with a desire to become what we consume - to be a gift to one another.
