Sunday Reflection – 12 January – Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
“When you see (the Most Blessed Sacrament) exposed, say to yourself –
‘Thanks to this Body, I am no longer dust and ashes, I am no more a captive but a freeman, hence, I hope to obtain heaven and the good things that are there in store for me… eternal life, the heritage of the angels, companionship with Christ; death has not destroyed this Body which was pierced by nails and scourged . . . this is that Body which was once covered with blood, pierced by a lance, from which issued saving fountains upon the world, one of blood and the other of water. . . This Body He gave to us to keep and eat, as a mark of His intense love’.”
St John Chrysostom (347 to 407)

Anne, this is really a powerful post. I pray everyone who sees this pauses and and, as my Grandpa used to say, “studies on it” for awhile. I wish my grandfather had met you I can see his smile and hear what he would say to me.
