I read this on the facebook page of an 18 year old college freshman. I had the pleasure of having her in bible study her senior year of high school. She was best friends with our friend Sister Mary - Nashville Dominicans.

I can't help but think how many Catholics miss this when they go to mass. This is why I have hope for our church and our faith. We have young people who get it and are taking the time to educate themselves and to experience what the Mass offers. They have an appreciation for Mass that is missing in so many Catholics. Thank God for the blessings of Nikki and Sr. Mary and young people everywhere making a difference in their lives and in the lives of others.

In Mass the other night, I was thinking about how although the angels see God face-to-face all the time and are with Him in Heaven right now, they can never be united to God in the same way that we are when we receive Him in the Eucharist. just think about it... God literally receives us into Himself when we receive Him in a way that is so incredible that not even the angels have experienced anything so amazing!! (copied from N.W.)
