A tiny reflection..
I had an opportunity to attend the lunch time Eucharistic Celebration and to sing gleefully with my fellow choir members. It was a wonderful celebration, with a beautiful homily. But something was sadly missing….. Incense! Unfortunately because it was celebrated in an exhibition hall, incense and candles are not allowed. Only electric or battery operated candles are permitted.
The whole atmosphere is very different when there are candles and incense. I am indeed joyful that I opted to attend the celebration again this evening. To experience the love of Christ permeated through the perfumed air. To see our prayers rise to Heaven and uniting with that of the Saints in Heaven. Glory and Praise be to God! Amen
