TODAY'S REFLECTION

"It is wonderful that we are here.”Why not remain here permanently, praying and enjoying this holy companionship? Such a religious experience is good and transforming - it brings one closer to God. But the test of a good religion experience is our everyday life with its challenges. It is wonderful that we gather every Sunday to commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus and, like the disciples, to have a religious experience. We come with our joys and hopes, our anxieties and sorrows, our thanksgiving and praises, our needs and desires. We listen to the Word of God and receive Jesus in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. At the end of the Mass we are sent back to our everyday life, to our homes and places of work - to become witnesses of the transforming religious experience we had at Mass. How much of the Mass do we take home? How much of it is reflected in our life and encounter?
