The Eucharist

We talked last Sunday about the Eucharist. What a lovely gift to celebrate it. I am looking forward to this. I find it both sobering and comforting to know that mass is observed so often. I originally got into this because I wanted to be able to worship in a way that I had not previously been able to do. We are fortunate in our parish at St. Michael's to have the staff to provide such abundant services. I feel like my faith life will be able to grow even as a approach the second half of my life. Many of teachers in my RCIA class attend mass daily and participate in things like stations of the cross and adoration. My time has been limited working for two separate departments within the hospital and raising two kids, however I have been able to make time for this process and it is indeed proven to be a true blessing. I look forward to continuing my journey and the thought that there will always be something new for me to discover and learn is as I said before, very comforting to me. I continue to work on my prayers, they're coming along....my mind is not as sharp as it used to be I suppose.

Oh....I supposed I should address something I said in an earlier post. On capital punishment. I have come to the point that I understand the church's stand. You can not be against abortion and for capital punishment. The sanctity and beauty of human life can not be dispensed especially by any man. If you believe this, then you must protect it. Though I admit, this one is a challenge for me....I do embrace this as truth and understand the basis.
