"My Jesus,
let my heart sing out for joy, for You dwell in it.
Let my mind be filled with
heavenly thoughts
for Your Father desires to
reign there.
Let my soul be guided by Your
Spirit for He wishes to sanctify it. ...
I am a child of God
through Baptism and my resemblance to Him
has grown stronger
through Holy Communion.
May I never forget my last Communion
and may my heart yearn for the next
one.
Somewhere, someplace
there is a Mass being said
-- a Calvary to be present at --
a Communion to receive, either sacramentally or spiritually --
-- a Calvary to be present at --
a Communion to receive, either sacramentally or spiritually --
an opportunity to be more like Jesus, the privilege of helping
my neighbor,
a time to say "I
thank You, God", a situation to
choose Jesus
over myself
or a chance to make a
sacrifice."
