Today we celebrate a great joy which should point our heart towards that which is most important in this life. So often we think we know what is important. Maybe that would be watching something on television, playing video games, and engaging in sports to name a few. No matter that which we do with our life we can never forget that it is important for us to love God and to order our life towards Him.
Therefore, Christ is that which is important for us. Thankfully, He loves us so dearly that He left us the gift which is the Most Holy Eucharist. Today, you, my dearest children will come to receive Him for the first time in the gift which is the Eucharist. For the rest of us, may we continue to encounter Him with such vigor. May none of us ever allow anything to be more important than God.
Sadly, there are those who do not make Mass a priority or receive Christ with great haste and then they rush out the door. No, we cannot give into this attitude because in doing so we are saying that there is something which is more important for us than Christ. Remember that before and after Mass you have the opportunity to be in the presence of Jesus. Use this opportunity to be in silence not to talk, but to pray. To prepare to receive Jesus and to give thanks to Jesus for loving us so much.
In a matter of moments, you, my dearest children we receive our Lord for the first time. Never take this gift for granted, but each and every time that you receive our Lord in Holy Communion do so with great devotion, always remember to give Him thanks, and always remember of His love which is abundant and without end.
