You know, compared to my EMHC brothers in our Parish, I'm just a youngling - a padawan. I look up to my brother Lay Ministers in the EMHC as examples of perseverance in this life and of enduring service to the Church.
It's really so good to serve again in Holy Mass...
I look to the Eucharist for true sustenance for Jesus is my Savior. He has always been mine and I have always been His.
Yes, it's true - despite all my sins, my God has never abandoned me, and my Redeemer always stayed with me... even at the aftermath of my favorite sins, when I feel the most desolate and abandoned by all creation, my Jesus just sits there with me to share the pain with me and to quietly carry my spirit back to health...
He sends people - friends, family, angels and saints - my Anne, most of all - to look for me when I am lost that I may soon return with Him, as my beloved Eldest Brother, to the Home of our Father...
Indeed, I am so blessed to be saved by a Savior as mighty and capable as Him! My Jesus is truly the greatest hero of my little life!
O my Jesus, zealous for souls,
thirsting for the love of all mankind.
Come, my Jesus, be Thou the God of my heart,
and accomplish in me Thy will of Peace.
If God stopped forgiving us our sins, our world will come to an abrupt end.
