Thirsty Thursday: One with GOD

In ♥ & Soul, Community, Home Sweet Home, Relationships, Thirsty Thursday, Travel, Weekly Wonders, Yours Truly on 07/02/2015 at 22:00

My Church celebrated our ☼milestone☼ anniversary of our ♥Adoration♥ †Chapel† last night!

During his homily, our Bishop told us of five ways to pray at the Blessed Sacrament:

  1. Praise
  2. Contrition
  3. THANKSgiving
  4. Petitions
  5. Communion

The fifth type means to simply be with GOD. Our Bishop also reminded us that the Eucharist and Perpetual Adoration both our important, yet taking the Body and Blood of CHRIST is the top priority of our faith.

Thirsty Thursday: Eucharist Etiquette

The Sacrament of Communion is powerful, as we Catholics who engage in the Eucharist are receiving

The Body and Blood of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

First Communion 2015

A few weeks ago, I celebrated the Corpus Christi (Most Precious Body and Blood) at my family’s Church, where our *Deacon’s homily prompted this post in which I’ll paraphrase his proclamation.

Deacon Dan’s Communion Checklist

  • Fall in line and remain in reverence ~ this is not a social gathering where we’re here to see what everybody’s wearing
  • Look at the host ~ don’t look away, as we’re receiving this Sacrament
  • Stay for the rest of the Mass ~ it’s not time for us to leave just to beat traffic

While these may seem like simple steps, the Deacon pointed out how some don’t put them into practice yet must be in play out of RESPECT.

One more rule of thumb: we must have a clear conscience when we receive Holy Communion ~ so regular confession is key.

Let us always celebrate this Fifth Luminous Mystery of the Rosary this way, as we receive our Daily Bread-turned into the Body of CHRIST.

As we observe The Last Supper, and as some candidates prepare for their First Communion, here is some inspiration:

Elaine's Baptism

Throwback Thursday: My Baptism on my Papa Jun‘s Birthday

As Catholics, we prepare for our Sacraments that celebrate the miraculous mysteries of †Christ† and deepen our involvement in the Church. We begin by being baptized.

Throwback Thursday: My 1st Communion at Holy Family Catholic Church

Then we have our Firsts: Confession to repent  for our sins and Communion to receive the Eucharist. As a matter of fact, I’ve had many of my R.E. students who’ve undergone their interviews in preparation of their First Communion, including a couple of them today, and who’re attending their retreat thereof this weekend.

Sacred Heart Confirmation 2014

Confirmation ☼ of Religious Education Candidates, ♥Sacred Heart♥ †Catholic Church†, Diocese of San Angelo, Texas (October 2014)

We then make our choice to be confirmed into the Church and accepting our Catholicism whole♥heart♥edly. Some of us go through this Sacrament as minors, while others decide to as adults. From there, we can proceed onto the next Sacraments: Marriage, Holy Orders if we’re called to the clergy or religious life, and Anointing of the Sick. GOD will lead us into these Sacraments if we listen to His calling ~ whether it be to spend our lives with another believer in holy matrimony or to lead a religious life ~ and also when we’re in need for healing ~ whether for physical or spiritual struggles.

  • Sacrifice

Reaching these aforementioned milestones is not easy. Yet suffering can bring us closer to GOD if we turn to him in those times of adversity. Nowadays, I’ve seen more requirements needed to make  the Sacraments, including classes, interviews and community service. I think that these steps are worthy of taking in order to enrich the journey.
