Awe

Last year, in our Parish, I had the great joy of attending a Mass said by a missionary priest who was in the parish to visit his sick Mother. He said Mass with the most solemn reverence and in his sermon he told us that if we really believed, and thought about, what the Eucharist is, we would approach the altar trembling with awe of the great Gift we were being given. I thought of that this morning at Mass, and realised how very true it is. Praise God for His goodness to us.
