Yesterday during the 11:15am Eucharistic Celebration, as I was distributing the Host during communion. I saw the image of Jesus in the tiny host! It was an exhilarating moment and I thought to myself how did they do it? How did they manage to capture such a crisp image of my Lord and have it shown only when lifted up to eye level? And so I looked intensely at every host thereafter as I lifted them up one by one from the ciborium hoping to see once again my Lord and my God. It was only then that it dawned on me that I had been granted the grace to see Him. Perhaps a once in a lifetime, but all the same praise be to God!
I was struggling with this morning’s reflection even though I have done one in the past. And my struggle with it began the night before. I could not see clearly the link between the first reading from Ezekiel nor could I clearly relate how the Gospel could be applied today. I only had a nagging feeling that there was so much more depth to it. Once again praise the Lord! for when I stopped wrestling with it and just started writing that the puzzle all begin to fit nicely.
Glory be to the Father and the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen
