As I prepare for my service to our Church as commentator *** today, I continue to seek the Holy Spirit ‘s guidance .
Dr. Grassi , in Guts, Grace & Glory , approaches scripture like a linebacker* ~ so I’ll do the same, per these positions:
Stance ~ “starts with the right foundation”
So then, anyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain poured down, the rivers flooded over, and the wind blew hard against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on rock. But anyone who hears these words of mine and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain poured down, the rivers flooded over, the wind blew hard against that house, and it fell. And what a terrible fall that was!
~ Matthew 7:24-27
Alignment ~ line up with the right people
Keep company with the wise and you will become wise. If you make friends with stupid people, you will be ruined.
~ Proverbs 13:20
Do not be fooled. “Bad companions ruin good character.”
~ I Corinthians 15:33
Christ’s message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.
~ Colossians 3:16
So Jesus said to those who believed him, “If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
~ John 8:31-32

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 .
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 .

What you are is GOD ‘s gift to you, what you become is your gift to GOD .
Throwback Thursday quote: my Sis had that saying in a poster with a photo of a ballerina in her childhood bedroom.
How do we use the talents with which He has blessed us to serve Him?
