Sunday Mass today held a very special treat ... I saw so many embers of our small church group, it felt like a wonderful mini-reunion. It's been months since we've met together and it felt so good to be with them and hug them again. Seven of us happened to attend the same Mass ... happenstance perhaps, but a happy one.
When that happens ... when you get an unexpected warm touch in your life ... doesn't it feel like a gift from God? It is real joy to feel it and to know that it represents what we all need, the comfort of people that know us and express their pleasure to us. Smiles abound and all seems well with the world. And when it happens in church, it is doubly appreciated. Today it felt like an extension of the Mass, of the kind of community that our time and talent can build.
I truly appreciate the warm touch I get from my new friends, and I pray that they know just how much they mean to me, each and every one.
