Spiritual Advisor's Corner

Father Timothy Sahd

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

I've seen more eagles over the last few months than I have in my life! Have you seen them? Last week, they were circling over the Rectory. Thankfully they weren't buzzards!

 

But before, when I would see an eagle, I'd stop and look, and then maybe even take a picture. Now, when I see one, it's no big deal and most times I don't even look.

 

Is that how we approach the Sacred Mysteries of our Faith, especially the Holy Eucharist? Has Our Savior's Body and Blood become so routine, such a part of our lives, that instead of being amazed by His Presence, we're dulled to it? If so, let's allow ourselves to grow closer to Our Lord in the Eucharist this Advent, and make this time of preparation for His birth a time to rediscover the mystery of His Presence! God bless!
