Happy Feast Day!
November 4 is the Feast Day of St.
Charles Borromeo and my feast day. I had no idea what
joy the day would bring.
The church considers Carolee a
derivative of Charles so that’s how I wound up with November 4 as my
feast day.
Sacred Heart Hospital’s chapel
acquired bells -- wonderful bells all over the place. We now have
bells mounted to the wall to herald the beginning of Mass.
The other new addition is a set of
sacristy bells to be rung at the appropriate parts of the Mass
indicating something really big, important and miraculous is
happening.
I got to ring the bells!!!
Kneeling at the foot of the altar,
waiting for the correct time to ring the bells, it occurred to me how right, proper and
good it was to announce this everyday miracle was
taking place one more time -- ordinary bread and wine being
transformed into the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I love daily Mass. It’s not that I
don’t appreciate music or the extra bits of the Mass from Sunday
it’s just that daily Mass offers an opportunity to hone in on the
very essence of my faith. The beautiful gift Jesus gave us in the
Eucharist!
