Chapter 4: Rite Makes Might: The Difference Mass Makes

This last chapter left me with the strong desire to hold on to all this insight. I don't want to forget it in a week or two. I want my love for and understanding of the Mass and Our Lord to just keep deeping. "The Mass is the marriage supper of the Lamb." We consume the Lamb.... Here God gives us His very life. Am I willing to totally give him myself to Him.... Totally. Really? (Lord I believe, help my unbelief.) I am thankful that the Lord is so forgiving because I am so weak. .................... "By dipping your fingers into holy water, you renew the covenant begun with your baptism.......... thus renewing your obligation to live up to the rights and duties of the New Covenant. You will love God with all your heart, and mind, and soul, and strength; you will love your neighbor as yourself." Lord, help to to live in this way......... Isn't awesome that as Catholics we have so many visual reminders of our relationship with God? I love to "Sign" myself in public as a visiable testamony of my Catholic faith in the Lord and I am then challenged to live that faith as a greater witness. ........... I take from this book so much. ..... It is a privilege to receive HIM!
