In one of his memorials, Blessed Peter Favre wrote that he wished his heart and soul would be open to seeing Jesus coming to him in the Holy Eucharist, and that Jesus had come to him 'entirely too often without my being alert to His coming.' (To the Other Towns: A Life of Blessed Peter Favre, William V. Bangert, S.J., Ignatius Press, 2002). How telling! A blessed of the church who had to make an effort to receive Communion in the proper spirit! Let us also strive to be attentive to Jesus when we receive Him.
Now, off to do my vacuuming and scrubbing so that I can then head out to the garden. A perfect day to be out of doors. The breeze is cool and refreshing.
