Jesus, the Children, and the Eucharist

I give thanks to the Lord for the birth of my niece Emilie a little over a week ago. Today's mass and prayers of the Rosary after our pro-life mass were very beautiful. Once again we prayed the Rosary in 5 different languages: English, French, Spanish, Latin and Tagalog.

·        Children, one of my greatest desires now is holding my new nieces in my arms for the first time

·        One of them would probably fit in my hands, Emilie, 1 week old, the other one, well she is 9 months...

·        Let’s think about Emilie now

·        So small yet so great,

·        So vulnerable, yet so precious, of an infinite value

·        So fragile, yet so beautifully made, and complete

·        But completely dependent on her parents

 

·        Now we can think about the unborn

·        So small yet so great

·        So vulnerable, yet so precious, of an infinite value

·        So fragile, yet so beautifully made, and complete, and infinitely loved by the Father

·        So tiny, yet so human, fully human

·        Yes fully human, but in such a need for protection, defenseless without our protecting hands, joined in prayer

 

·        And the mystery of the Eucharist parallels that as well

·        So small yet so great

·        So vulnerable, yet so precious, of an infinite value

·        So fragile, yet so beautifully made and infinitely loved by the Father

·        So tiny, yet so human, in fact fully human & fully divine

·        Yes fully divine, but in such a need for protection, defenseless without our protecting hands in prayer , or our hands receiving Him in communion like we receive a tiny baby, like a crib, but not a cold wooden crib, a warm living receiving hands for Him, our All, Jesus Christ

·        As our understanding of the mystery of the Eucharist grows, let us ask for our devotion to the cause of Life to grow as well
