Christ's Feast of Unity

"Frequent Communion brings peace into a family and into the soul. It also fosters faith in God and heavenly relationships with all God's dear ones in heaven."  
                      -Venerable Solanus Casey




  I thought this quote definitely deserved a few moments of quiet meditation this week.  As we begin our preparations for Thanksgiving lets be sure to embrace the Eucharist.  It is the feast that Christ, himself, offers to each of us.  An opportunity for each of us to feel God's love, forgiveness, guidance, generosity and goodness.  It also contains a promise: "Whoever eats this bread will live forever."  Those who have departed from this world now live more fully in Heaven.  Our loved ones are not lost to us, because God allows heaven and earth to unite around the Eucharistic table as one family. I think that is pretty amazing and definitely something to be thankful for.  God truly is great!
