Beautifully written. I see so many wander away from their faith, not walk away, largely because they do not fully understand what they are abandoning. They never encountered our Lord. Part of this is a luke-warm attitude about salvation among so many Catholics. This results in an "everyone is going to heaven attitude", so why bother. The Lord needs Catholics to be active evangelists, excited about their faith and mostly, in love with God. We tend to often default to a live and let live attitude. Heaven is truly at stake and we need to be more assertive about this.

🥰🥰🥰The Eucharist🥰🥰🥰

I was at the DYC a few weeks ago and a sister there talked about this little autistic girl who could only respond when someone talked to her. She was at Mass (graduated from the cry room) and ran up the aisle to sit in front of the altar. As the priest was consecrating the bread and wine the little girl started saying, “Hello! Hello!” She only responded verbally when talked to first. Then when the priest put the ciborium in the tabernacle the little girl started saying, “Goodbye! I love you too!”

I’m crying writing this. It was so powerful to hear that.
