Brother Adam Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 (edited) Just two hours away from receiving first communion. Teresa and I are so excited. Hopefully I don't do something stupid like trip and fall on my way up. Edited October 24, 2004 by Brother Adam

Brother Adam Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 Well... We went to mass and met my sponsor (Sursum Corda) and Dan (Lounge Daddy). When we went up to recieve communion, Fr. Don invited us up first. Teresa went up ahead of me. Everyone else waited in silence in their pews. My first thought when I saw the one piece of consencrated bread on the plate was "Wow. That is a pretty big piece. Think you could have made it any bigger Father?" But I then recieved our Lord under both species, and then we sat down and everyone else got up to recieve. It's hard to contemplate sometimes. That we are in reality recieving the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. While we are all called to this act every Sunday, and even every day, I worry that if we aren't careful we will lose the signifigance of what is happening and it can become routine. I'm still in awe about what I just participated in. I hope every Sunday will always bring the same awe, and that my relationship with God will only continue to grow deeper.
IcePrincessKRS Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Yay! I so wish I could have been there. I prayed for you guys last night and this morning.
