The youth minister was out of town that Sunday and it was my job to help set up for the LifeTeen Mass. I looked at my phone to check the list she had texted me.
“remember to put 400 hosts in the bowl” one line read.
Very gently, I opened the plastic wrapping that surrounded the small, unleavened pieces of bread. I leaned down and sweetly gazed at the first pack of 100 in my hand and whispered to the bread, “Hey little fellas…guess what?!”
They of course didn’t respond,
“You’re about to become JESUS! Aren’t you so excited?”
Very cautiously, I laid them on the bowl and reached for the second package of 100. Still talking to the bread, ever so softly I continued, “What a journey you have ahead of you – how lucky each of you are! ”
Tori,
A thought interrupted my dialog
Do you see the gentleness with which you treat these hosts?
“Yes,” I respond to the thought.
This is how you are to treat my people - with this same reverence and gentleness as you have treated these hosts. For I live within My people and when you see them, you see Me.
…
Made in the image and likeness of God, the human person is the most Sacred work of creation.
We are Holy. We are One. We are His.
