St John Henry Newman. Thursday of Week 27 in Ordinary Time

 

 

 

I chose you.
That you should go and bear fruit.
And I appointed you.
That you should abide in your fruit.

What did Newman think was vital.
It was the power of the daily Eucharist.
This, the supreme gift offered to us is vital.
In the 400000 thousand masses said every day for the Eucharist.

I felt this so strongly today at Mass.
The heart moves at this point.
This is the divine presence in the mass.
This, not music or sermons or reading is the point.

A very great gift.
And more and more young are seizing this gift.

……

The point of the mass
Is the just the divine presence
And it’s nothing else
