Day 26
If you remember back during Covid, when we were not allowed to gather in large groups, we had First Communions at our regular Masses. It was usually just one or two kids at a time and I always tried to gear a little bit of the homily directly to them.
Do you remember the question I asked all of them? "What is more important than your First Communion?" Eventually they would realize that it was their Second Communion. "And what is more important than your Second Communion?" And they would answer their Third Communion.
What a blessing it is to be able to come back time and time again to receive the Eucharist. Each one can be as touching and moving as our first if we approach it with an attitude of expectation and grace. God is always ready to work in our lives. We have to expect it. We have to believe that it will happen.
Jesus gives us the Eucharist as food for the journey. May we always hunger for the Eucharist as if it were the very first time we are receiving it.
