Today's Gospel enlightened me to the new meaning of "Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie" in Pater Noster, Our Lord's Prayer. Today, Our Lord reminded us, "It is my Father who gives you the Bread from Heaven, the true Bread; for the Bread of God is that which comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world... I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry; he who believes in Me will never thirst." (John 6:32-33,35)
Our Lord gives Himself to us through the Eucharist everyday! Now, I have reached the new level of appreciation for the Holy Mass. Deo Gratias for the aspiring consolation today!
Recently, a friend of mine shared with me that his community mate started to kneel receiving Our Lord on the tongue every time as he wished to reserve the reverence for the Lord. What a delightful joy to hear that! However, it is not enough for just the reverence. It should be high reverence for our Eternal King who was willing to lower Himself to our hearts as His Eternal Throne, as He is our God, the Most High who transcends over everything. This is our supernatural reverence for Him!
