Grace upon grace...

 "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 --

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."
