Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 What do you personally experience when you partake of our Blessed Lord?
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted October 25, 2004 Author Posted October 25, 2004 For me, it was a feeling of completeness. Like a void deep within my soul was being filled. Filled with our Lord.
dUSt Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 It gives me strength. It makes me realize the personal relationship I have with Christ--so personal that when I eat His body he becomes me and I become Him.
cathgirl Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 It's hard to explain, but I just [i]know [/i]that He's there. My favorite thing to do when I receive Jesus is to (slowly) say the Glory Be b/c God is so near to hear it from you. :hearts:
Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 I tend to get a variety of experiences, from virtually nothing but a quiet whisper bringing a message of peace to a joy that makes me almost want to laugh and cry in the Church, lol...Our Lord is beautiful...
wopsim Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 i just always seem to think, WOW..... this is soooo awesome!!!! someone loves me this much!!!!!! i love the fact that i got to hang out with this guy the night before mass!!!!!
heyyoimjohnny Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 (edited) I don't experience anything. I don't think I know how to pray very well, so after a little while I just give up praying to Him and just rest with Him. P.S. is there a kind of prayer reference or something? I don't think I pray very well, and I don't know what to do. I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. Should I just ask the Holy Spirit to show me how to pray and be patient?

[/quote] Ask Mary and the saints to pray with you. I like the Anima Christi: [i]Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O Good Jesus, hear me. Within Thy wounds, hide me. Suffer me not to be separated from Thee. From the malignant enemy defend me. At the hour of my death, call me, and bid me come to Thee, That with Thy saints, I may praise Thee, Forever and ever. Amen.[/i]
Theoketos Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 ^ I was going to post that... Sometimes, I feel no different... Sometimes, I can not stop Crying.

Theoketos Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Some times I have to remind meyslef that it is not what we get from Mass, but what give to the Mass, to the Cross, to the Christ.

Colleen Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 For me, I just have this feeling of great strength . . . and awe, too. I can't really put it into words, really. Thanks for posting the Anima Christi, Micah. It's an awesome prayer!

Cool.
