I so enjoyed mass this morning (August 24 2008)

I was serving as an extra ordinary minister of Holy Communion, and my husband was holding Joseph, who decided to be nice during mass! Not too much wrestling to get away, not too much screaming. On top of that, the choir song Rutter. I have a great weakness for Rutter. And with no one trying to escape from the pew, I had time to pray and contemplate and actively participate in mass. It is a wonderful and refreshing feeling and gives me new courage each time. As extra ordinary minister of Holy Communion, today I was administering the cup. It always gives me such a humble and special feeling to be allowed to offer the cup as the blood of Our Lord.
