Part 3 chapter 1 - Lifting the Veil

This chapter reminds me of the phrase, "back to good." It is a chapter that makes me want to quickly read more. It makes me anticipate with eagerness the next Mass I will attend. It also makes me yearn to help lift the veil from the eyes of others who have no idea of the TREASURE, the LORD, the GOD they are receiving or are neglecting to receive............ "I will be with you always" takes on new meaning when we really begin to understand Christ's Eucharistic presence. .................. "First confess your trangressions, that your sacrifice may be pure." (Didache) How deeply we are called to confess and how sincere our repentence should be. How unworthy we are, yet we have been made worthy by the blood of Christ and invited to the table by the host, the Eucharistic Christ. I am overwhelmed with awe just to reflect on this, over and over again. ............ On p. 127 Scott says "Yes, be attentive! .....The Revelation of Jesus Christ has an immediate and overwhelming impact on our lives. We are the bride of Christ unveiled; we are His Church. And Jesus wants each and every one of us to enter into the most intimate relationship imaginable with Him.......He loves us, how close He wants us to stay - and how permanent he intends our union to be." "Come Lord Jesus" is our song .....Yet, he is here .... Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity at Mass. HOW priveliged we are!
