Wednesday's Eucharistic "Lesson" ~ by Ronnie Archer

At the conclusion of Mass last Wednesday, June 13th, Fr. Andrew asked if we had ever noticed a gesture that he makes after the consecration, each time he is about to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. He told us that he asks God to bless each of the senses where sin can enter into us. With the fingers of both hands, he touches his temples (mind), so that his thoughts will be pure; the eyes, to avoid seeing anything sinful; the ears, to avoid hearing anything that would contribute to sin; and the mouth, to refrain speaking anything that is against God's will, therefore sinful.

Fr. Andrew said that he is going to begin having classes soon, to help us become better informed of some of the rituals of the Catholic Church, such as WHY we do what we do and WHEN certain rituals began. I do think that the classes will be helpful and interesting.
